We talk about generational boosts so much because there's been an increase in how much worse AMD is in each generation, and comparing Intel generations to humiliate AMD users got really popular. Of course, NV really got it off the ground, like pretty much every hardware thing being spouted about the forums nowadays, and I guess it's a curse for him, because he also accidentally started a rumour about what makes what GPU better in Dolphin off the ground with mere speculation, and nobody's been able to stop talking about how bandwidth is such a massive factor in the determination of performance in Dolphin.
in a perfect world we would all be piles of sand with no ability to form coherent bodies of body
