Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage.

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. One distinct trend is a belief that a JavaScript framework and Single-Page Architecture (SPA) is a must for PWA development. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. The true median device from 2016 sold at about ~$200 unlocked.

From 2007 until 2016, Intel was able to successfully execute their Tick-Tock release strategy, where they would introduce a new processor microarchitecture roughly every two years (a Tock release). Intel has been stuck at 14nm in the server space since the Broadwell release in Q4 of 2016. So, what has changed my mind?
