Technological Leap of late 90s and 2000s

A little extra thought on technological leap. The late 90s-2000s era clearly saw great technological leap forward. Not just in video games graphics but in other technologies as well. Laptops and even mobile phones were little more than prototypes in mid 90s. By the end of the 2000s they became very powerful and nearly ubiquitous.

In contrast late 2010s hardly saw much progress. New iPhones, Intel Core processors, new graphic cards and so on hardly even move ahead after 2012-2013 something.

AMD Ryzen was a refreshing advancement, but subsequent iterations hardly ever improve over the original: the 5th generation of Ryzen is barely better than the 1st one. Its graphic core has even less shader processors than the 1st generation.

Yet both Intel and AMD constantly want more of our money without offering vastly improved performance as they did in 2000s. Of course, gaming and tech communities will be angry about these accursed "rip-off 2010s" and rightfully so. We are fed up with this bullshit.

When the good times will be back?
