For as long as I can remember, every new Apple computer was "up to" 5... 10... 15... times faster than the one before. The use of "up to" is a clever marketing ploy. Because if all those were actual figures then, with all that compound multiplication, the current laptops must be about a million times faster than the one I had 20 or so years ago.

Well, even my phone feels about a million times faster than the desktop machine with an old pentium chip (that was in the mid megahertz range) that I was still using 20 years ago.

Even 20 years ago, Notepad used to open in a flash on my desktop. The Notes app on my phone however...

definitely feels a million times faster than a iMac circa 2000 with it's 333mhz CPU. I mean, we are talking 100000x performance at least.
