    It's really interesting seeing how far we've come with technology in less than 10 years. This phone came out 2012 and even high-end phones like Galaxy S3 which was released in 2012 as well, had 1GB of RAM. Now my phone has 12GB of RAM and a SoC which has a GPU that is around 56 times faster in floating-point calculations than Galaxy S3.
    PC consumer technology evolution has been much slower. For example GTX 580 that came out in 2012 is only around 8 times slower than RTX 2080 Ti.
