> How did we already get to no-one being impressed by 20% better PER YEAR already.

When has 20% been impressive? When Intel to M1 happened, the jump was huge ... not 20%. I can't think of anything with a 20% jump that made waves, even outside of tech.

When I used to do user benchmarking, 20% was often the first data point where users would be able to notice something was faster.

4 minutes vs 5 minutes. That's great! Kind of expected that we'll make SOME progress, so what is the low bar... 10%? Then we should be impressed with 20?

People aren't upgrading from M1, M2, M3 in numbers... so I don't think it's just me that isn't wow'd.
