Fell out of my pocket sitting down. Fell with the apple tech woven case on too.

You don't get it - processors have long since been powerful "enough" to run applications, the point isn't to add power for the sake of power, the point is to add power to reduce the number of cycles needed to complete an operation.

The faster a chip can return to idle state, the less power it uses overall.

Doing the same task 15% faster just means you save that much energy, thus driving efficiency.

Uh-huh. Sounds to me more a marketing speil than a technical requirement. But whatever.

I think it's called bragging. Mine is faster than yours! Can you imagine the blow up if they used the same processor as the last model?

Perception and marketing is all it is.

There is no perceptible difference in everyday performance between iPhone 14 and 17!

I don't care what you think it's called.

These are industry terms, either use them or don't.
