A CPU from 2017 is going to run your programs a hell of a lot faster than one from 2003. Even if they technically have the same clock speed. Look at benchmarks

A CPU from 2017 is going to run your programs a hell of a lot faster than one from 2003. Even if they technically have the same clock speed. Look at benchmarks for instance: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
- RobAtticus 9y agoThe claim wasn't "CPUs in 2017 are not faster than CPUs in 2003" or even "CPUs in 2017 are not much faster than CPUs in 2003"; the claim was that they haven't followed Moore's law since 2003, so applying it to CPU speed nowadays is inaccurate. Of course CPUs are faster now than they were 14 years ago, just not as fast as the case where Moore's law still applied to CPU speed.
