I replied to your other comments but now I see that you are arguing in bad faith and I regret the time investment.
> It doesn't always enable new use cases.
It doesn't have to always enable new use cases, you are just moving the goalpost.
> Sufficiently minor things aren't "genuine new use cases" that we "sorely need".
A use case is a use case, you don't get to redefine what you consider a "major" and a "minor" use case to justify your bad arguments. That's another example of moving the goalpost.
> Not very much of that depends on computation getting faster.
That statement is so objectively wrong, power efficiency is a trade off with processing power, if we can make a faster chip we can make a similarly capable chip that consumes less power.
