;-) Because different architectures are superior to each other in different tasks, I think a better approach is to ask yourself: "Which computer is better at what I want to use it for, and ignore the rest.

;-) That is why the market is almost saturated; most computer users have as much computer as they need. For e-mail, web surfing, keeping inventory and payroll for a business, etc., yesteryear's computers are perfectly adequate.  Very few applications really need all the horsepower that they can get.

That’s why manufacturers encourage software developers to create games that use everything you can give them.  The salesman’s first job is to make the customer dissatisfied with what he already has.
