I loved my N5 to death until it fell victim to the power button issue - I’m tempted by this but concerned by the 670. If it’s faster than the 821 in the Origin

I loved my N5 to death until it fell victim to the power button issue - I’m tempted by this but concerned by the 670. If it’s faster than the 821 in the Original Pixel I’m probably sold...if it’s equivalent I might just have to get the Pixel 1 for cheap.

Original Pixel: dual-core 2.15 GHz + dual-core 1.6 GHz Pixel 3a: quad-core 2.0GHz + quad-core 1.7 Ghz If you're doing 8 different things, probably better? Based purely on clock speed, it looks like the original Pixel is slower than the N5. Based on speed and core count... it still looks like that. It seems kind of hard to believe, though. Anecdotally, I replaced my N5 (4x 2.26 GHz) with a OnePlus 3 (2x 2.2 GHz + 2x 1.6 GHz) and I was impressed by how the OnePlus 3 seemed smoother and faster compared to the N5. Possibly the difference was more based on RAM (2GB for the N5, 6GB for the OnePlus 3). I have no experience with the Pixel. I picked up a cheap one with the intention of installing LineageOS when they announced support for it... but it seems the Pixel's USB port has some kind of problem that prevents my computer from recognizing it. So it's just been sitting around, unused.
