PCs aren’t faster, they have more cores, so they can do more at a time, but it takes effort to optimize for parallel work. Also the form factor keeps getting smaller, more people use laptops now and you can’t cheat thermal efficiency.
It’s all about memory latency and bandwidth now which has improved greatly PC’s are still getting faster. There is a new RAM standards being pushed right now CAMM2 is really exciting it pushes back the need for soldered memory.

The faster single core out of order execution performance on newer x86 CPUs lets it work on that higher bandwidth of data too.
