Tech companies are achieving faster and more capable computers by making advancements at the atomic level, with one major but lesser-known company playing a crucial role in this progress.
A video comparing the speed of an older computer to a modern one has sparked a debate about why modern personal computers often appear slower. The slowdown is attributed to various factors, including the use of compatibility layers that abstract software from hardware, reducing response times but increasing latency. Additionally, software companies may not adhere to best programming practices or take advantage of modern computing power to reduce costs. Modern software also requires more hardware resources for safe and secure operation compared to older equivalents.
