I think this is something people forget about GURPS TLs in general - there can be a huge range
within a TL. Compare the Newcomen atmospheric engine (1712) with the relatively "minor" changes Watt did to it 1763 to 1775. It's all TL5 but Watt's changes caused the steam engine to have a mammoth improvement.
Something similar can be seen with personal computers (TL8): The IBM 5100 (1975) is totally different from the Macintosh (1984) which is very different from c2000 computers. Heck, the under the hood code the current Mac uses is a variant of Unix which has been improved over the 50 years of its existence and that is just the software.
