How does the average modern laptop compare to 90s sgi computers?

i reckon modern laptops are aproximately 48x more powerful in hardware terms - although in practice, it's probably less than that, since modern software is very badly written

I think even a phone could outpace an old SGI box if you put a 90s-tier lightweight UNIXlike OS on it. UNIX philosophy software written in only the finest languages (no (((ruby))) (((python))) (((go))) (((rust))) shit, only C, C++, Java (for rapid prototyping, NOT for final products) and Assembly) would NOT lag on modern hardware, even if you used a heavy GUI layer (extremely riced with 3D effects GTK or some shit), if you did it right then the programs themselves would run perfectly fast.
