A Ryzen is muuuuch more than 10-15x faster than a 486, and AVX et al do diddly squat for a lot of general-purpose code.
Clock speed is about 50x and IPC, let's say, 5-20x. So it's roughly 500x faster.
- Sohcahtoa82 1y agoI meant a comparison on a clock-for-clock level. In other words, imagine either the 486 running at the clock speed of a Ryzen, or the Ryzen running at the clock speed of the 486. In other other words, compare ONLY IPC. The line I was commenting on said: > If a Ryzen takes 1,250 times the transistor for one core, does one core run 1,250 times (even taking hyperthreading in to account) faster than an i80486 at the same clock? Emphasis added by me.
