Multicore, fast processors starting in the early 2000’s made this inevitable. At some point, you get all the power (for most home and business and even industrial work) you need, and high enough quality and longevity in a quality computer to last 6-10 years before needing a replacement. There’s nothing special or unexpected about this being reported now. It was the same even four or five years ago now. High quality hardware and software are commodities now. That’s good for the consumer.
I see I used “now” way too much up there. I’m like, um, totally not proud of that.
