At no point in the past 20 years did we even come close to that.
You're probably thinking of Moore's Law, which refers to transistor count, not performance.
- mlyle 5y agoCPUMark is a flawed benchmark, but.. in 2004 the average score was 385 on Desktop. In 2012, it was 4626. So-- that's 12x in 8 years, vs. 16x from doubling every 2 years. I'd say we used to come close. For the past 5 years, it's been doubling about every 3 years.
- pedrocr 5y agoI'm thinking of actual benchmarks. Here's the one I've been looking at: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-PRO-4750U-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-PRO-5850U-vs-Intel-i5-6200U-vs-Intel-i7-6600U-vs-Intel-i7-1185G7/3740vs4198vs2556vs2608vs3793 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-PRO-4750U-v... The top CPU choice for my current Lenovo T460s was the i7-6600U. Exactly 5 laptop generations later the top CPU choice for the T14sG2 is the Ryzen 7 5850U. The ratio of performance between those two is 5.82. That's 42% per year or almost exactly 2x every 2 years on the same form factor and TDP. Last year's 4750U was at 4.4x after 4 years. Intel has only been able to do 1.6x every 2 years in the same comparison. Their single core performance is comparable but they've only been able to deliver 4 cores versus AMD's 8.
