About a decade ago I talked about what I called at the time capable computing, that is to say, computing that is “good enough," https://aallan.medium.com/capable-computing-50867847a8d8. So I'm unsurprised by the news that we're now seeing a drop in average CPU performance after 20 years of increasing benchmark results. Most people don't need more performance, and manufacturers know it. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/passmark-sees-the-first-yearly-drop-in-average-cpu-performance-in-its-20-years-of-benchmark-results
