Capturing data is cheap, local CPU is expensive. In terms of battery capacity, which is the real currency nowadays. It sounds impressive to talk about a supercomputer in your pocket, but its power comes from a battery that weighs only a few grams more than a lacy garter belt.

I have a feeling that the utility of the fast CPU is limited to providing responsive reactions to a moving finger. A bit disappointing really.

The ability to capture photos & video of my fast moving toddler in challenging situations is immensely valuable.

I shoot, edit, and uploaded video at least 100x faster than when I got started with Premiere and a $8000 PC. It's amazing!
