The smart phone has officially passed up my 7-year-old desktop PC in CPU horsepower. On
an average of
Jet Stream,
Sun Spider,
Kraken, and
Geekbench,
my iPhone 7 is 30% faster than
my Core i5-670-based PC (running Firefox or Chrome for the javascript benchmarks).
My iPad 1, by comparison, from roughly the same vintage as my desktop PC (2010), looks
absolutely prehistoric. It is 40 times slower than my iPhone 7. It is unreal how
much mobile processing power has improved since the advent of the smart phone / tablet.
Desktop CPU performance increases have been happening at a far slower pace in that same
time frame.
