The lowest common denominator I had to deal with were some quite expensive, for the hardware, Arris devices. Roughly 10 times slower than a 2 core skylake and similar. I wish I was joking. As you say, people have no idea what slow is until they have to code for these.

I've played with some fairly decent machines as well. Quite a bit faster and cheaper but you can't just magically replacement millions of devices every time something new comes along
