What actually causes computers and technology to run slower than others?
In: Technology
Not all parts are created equal. As time goes on we can continue to push how we manufacture computer components, making them smaller, faster, more energy efficient, etc.
In your other comment you noted your phone and your laptop being examples. A laptop has a lot more space for all of the components, so you can cram more computing power into it, whereas your phone just can’t match the performance because it’s so much smaller so you have less space for everything.
And outside of that you have things like thermal throttling, where heat can’t properly escape a device so everything slows down to cool down, different part specifications (IE overclocking from the factory, different designs of parts* entirely)
*Apple did this with one of the iPhones a while back and it affected performance quite a bit
