    People keep talking about increasingly higher amounts of preformance in computers with no real world practical use case. Aside from tech journalists the average person doesn’t really care about 4k or 120hz, companies should focus on hardware quality instead.

      Or battery life. I could care less if the new phone is 0.64mm thinner, spend that volume on extra joules instead.

      Sincerely,
      those of us who remember pda’s with 14- or 25-day battery life.

      There are definitely things we can do with more power. Real time ray tracing for the entire scene, no upscaling tricks, at 1440p and 120fps would be amazing.

      Outside of games, hardware that can solve protein folding would have massive implications for healthcare. Think of all the new drugs pharmaceutical companies can create and then upcharge 10000%.

      What do you mean? The higher performing the computer, the more we can get away with sloppy inefficient code for the same performance

        That too, absolutely unoptimized code and for what? Im playing Indiana jones and the great circle, the graphics are ok but tbh the shadows should be optional.
