Benchmarks CPU 2024

Frog-2024

I know I've done benchmarks on my various machines in the past but I had no idea how far the rabbit hole goes...

Let's start with back in 2003:

Benchmarking Dell XPS and Lenovo Thinkpads (littletinyfrogs.com)

Device	Description	Score
Frog 2003	Decent Dell Dimension for its time.	132
Turtle 2006	My ThinkPad T60 for business trips in 2006.	150
Turtle 2007	ThinkPad T61 replacing T60, good 2007 laptop.	286
Frog 2007	Dell XPS 710 work desktop, quad core, RAID 10.	798
Frog 2008 (Dell XPS Gen 3)	Home PC, state of the art in 2005.	125
Frog 2008 (Alienware Area 51)	Updated home PC, state of the art for 2008.	885
Turtle 2008	ThinkPad T400, fairly state of the art laptop for 2008.	563
Frog 2009	New work machine, state of the art for 2009.	2014

And now: Frog-2024: 66,708!

Comparing 2003 spinny hard drives to SSDs isn't even a fair start.

You're right: In 2003 low end hdds' spin speed was 4200 rpm, midrange was 5400 rpm and high end were 7200 rpm...enterprise disks ran at 10,000 to 15,000 rpm...no competition for ssds' data transfer speed at all. In 2003 data transfer speed for those rpms was 20-40 mb/s or 100-500 IOPS. 2024's best ssd read/write speeds are 7,300/6,800 mb/s. No comparison at all. Like comparing a formula 1 to a horse and buggy. Laughable, but how I loved them and my dot matrix printer with its thermal paper.
