:shrug: CPU performance is a rounding error on your GPU and RAM bottlenecks.

The GPU being a bottleneck over the CPU is only in very specific scenarios.

Can you be more specific about what message you're trying to convey?

In the 90s and 00s paying more for CPU ment I could work faster. I was extreemly grateful for each breakthrough.

Even in the 10s this wasn't really true. Storage and bandwith took a bigger slice and CPU was in abundance.

We are now at the point I could easy serve the DB and App servers of a multi-million SaaS off my mobile phone.

The few remaining areas where compute is still the bottleneck at all: video encoding, 3d rendering, mining, and predominantly now AI; also tend not to focuse on the CPU.
