Although the processor does have a much larger RAM and more disk storage than the 3090, would fit inside a cigarette pack, and cost $35 (well the price is a little above that when you count in the SSD storage). Maybe you don't have your ring yet, but can you imagine laying your phone or watch down on the table in a 1990 business meeting?
