gollark: <@175686996461617162> When you upgrade, keep the existing CPU in sonething and overclock until it melts.
gollark: And I bet for the price you can get six cores now.
gollark: Given:- smaller process node (easier to add more stuff, increase clock)- faster RAM- faster IO- simultaneous multithreading- other generic IPC improvements- probably bigger or at least faster cache- higher clocksit's inevitable.
gollark: I'd say, in fact, that a modern dual core would beat it.
gollark: Perhaps a 4-core CPU with outdated everything is slow.
