No, a typical desktop computer today is millions of times faster than a typical 1980s 8-bit computer. A Commodore 64 ran a 6510 at ~1Mhz (depending on NTSC or PAL). It was a single core CPU with no pipelining or superscaler features and took multiple cycles to complete a single operation putting it's performance in the hundreds of thousands of operations (of any kind) per second. The Playstation 4, a consumer-grade entertainment device provides around 8TFLOPs of performance. Just a CPU, like an AMD 3990x is rated at 2.3 million MIPS while the 6502 at 1Mhz is rated at less than .430 MIPS.
