Yeah, but which had more? :)
Reminds me of that time in the 90s(?) when people connected printers to computers, but the printers had more powerful processors than the computers. (Or later, when someone poked into the WiFi board on their arduino and realized that it was a more powerful microcontroller, but that's not so directly related)
