For most everyday work - Raspberry Pi is fast enough, so it's not even an argument. Raspberry Pi 8GB is 10x cheaper? There are mini desktops starting at $250 that will do everyday work.
If you throw in "everyday work" - then we have passed the need for new chips altogether.
That's a bit of an overstatement. Booting from SSD instead of SD card has an enormous uptake in performance. I have yet to hear of a Pi 4 that couldn't overclock to 2GHz which is a pure uplift of 25%. Moving to 64-bit PiOS gives another double-digit jump in performance too. Not record-breaking, but not unusable either.
