Remember the glorious Pentium 4? A $35 Raspberry Pi 3 is twice as fast.

@codinghorror But the Raspberry Pi 3 doesn't keep you warm in winter!

@codinghorror I edited videos on a P4 O_O

@codinghorror @ericlaw after 14 years of Moore's Law it better be faster

@codinghorror but I bet you can't fry a steak with a Raspberry. The pentium 4 could cook a whole meal.

@codinghorror DX2-66 ftw!

@codinghorror Twice as fast != twice as powerful.

@codinghorror @waxzce test pi3 on Linux and pentium on Windows.... Not very représentative no ?

@codinghorror Just checked my broken MSI-915GM4 motherboard... Pentium 4 still there. Oh the humanity! It used to be my file server before it blew up in a thunderstorm. Almighty popping noise it was and the air filled with words that shall not be repeated... Just felt the world should know.

@codinghorror This data sheet is missing wattage for the full effect.

@codinghorror you know what this means: Starcraft on the Raspberry Pi 3

@codinghorror @SwiftOnSecurity Not sure I trust any benchmark that claims an x58 i7 is barely faster than a Pi3B.

@codinghorror Look at Lua comparison to get a better match. FP/Stream almost never matches real world performance.

@codinghorror I still own a Pentium 4 1.5 Ghz 😂😂

@codinghorror 😩😩

@codinghorror Not if you're only working with integers!

@codinghorror And ARM-derived SoCs seem to be doubling in speed (or more) each year, but the current gen Intel i7 laptop is like 25% faster than the one I bought 5 year years ago.
