They did follow user's color scheme properly until MS removed that control panel item and replaced it with a half ass implementation which only applied to taskbar and titlebar. So, no, it wasn’t “hardly maintained” it was deliberate breakage like all the other boneheaded decisions during Windows 8 development.

BIOS had ACPI, too, so I'm not sure how it contributes to the argument.

DDR5 has always been twice as expensive as DDR4. But yeah when they were a lot cheaper maybe it didn't matter as much as it does now.

its manufactured on a smaller node so probably has more leeway for higher freq on all core loads.

I’d also be weary of single core scores,Geekbench is known to be favoring specialized instruction sets like AVX or encryption extensions more and more as the version number progresses. Though I don’t know if GB6 is also like this I wouldn’t be surprised it it was caused by it.

The problem with this is Microsoft foresaw it and pushed (bribed?) OOXML through ISO and now there's no standing on "forcing" an open standard without OOXML being one.

Sure, if you ignore PQ completely.

Not that libjpeg-turbo is pinnacle of quality but hardware encoders, seriously?
