Equivalent chip today: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/236784/intel-core-i5-processor-14500-24m-cache-up-to-5-00-ghz.html https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/236784/...
4 cores/4 threads up to 14 cores/20 threads. Max memory supported 32GB up to 192GB. 3.7Ghz turbo up to 5Ghz. 6MB cache up to 24MB+11.5MB L2. Memory bandwidth 21GB/sec up to 76GB/sec. AVX2. Faster GPU.
It’s not so dramatic but it’s not nothing; 5x the threads, nearly 4x memory bandwidth, 1/3rd higher clock speed, 4x the cache, much higher bus bandwidth I think ~5x?

- atiedebee 2y agoUsing max memory supported in this case seems disingenuous, the truth is that the average computer in 2011 had 8GBs of ram, and the average computer in 2024 has 16GBs of ram, 32 if we're being generous. It doesn't refute your claim that modern CPUs are drastically faster than 12 years ago, but there has definitely been quite a regression in how much we've been gaining the past years
