So your computer today is 100 times faster than the computer you had 5 years ago? That seems like a stretch. What two CPUs are you talking about exactly?
Hmm, I guess if you had an Intel Pentium III Mobile 750MHz (circa June 2000) five years ago:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+III+Mobile+750MHz http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+III+Mo...
Then if you got an Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.40GHz that would score 100 times higher on the PassMark CPU Mark.
But there's a 10 year gap between the release of those CPUs. Also, the Core i7-2600K has 4 cores and 8 threads, while that Pentium III had only one core and one thread.

- sgt101 15y agoMy computer is many times faster than the one I had 5 years ago (or 3 years ago); my processor/cpu is somewhat faster. Faster memory, faster GPU - these make a big difference for me at least.
