So the supercomputer speed went 1000x from 2008-2022. But home computer speeds definitely did not go up that much

A lot of it is simply scale. This computer has ~8 million cores compared to ~12k full cores and ~100k "processing units" on the Roadrunner.

Secondly we have fundamentally changed how we do computation, by learning how to utilise GPUs (and GPU like architectures) better. This alone gives a far greater than 10x boost between 2008-2022
