Panther Lake was not only 9.7X faster than Sandy Bridge but also consumed, on average, 7.8% less power. It's impressive because the Panther Lake chip comes equipped with 8X more cores compared to the Sandy Ridge part. The Core i7-3517U (codenamed Ivy Bridge) had the lowest average power consumption among the 15 processors. Compared to Ivy Bridge, Panther Lake consumed 1.92X more power but delivered 9.1X more performance.
The quantitative performance gains of Intel mobile chips over the years are impressive. However, Linux's embrace of older hardware is equally impressive. It's the reason why the operating system is the de facto choice for users who want to give legacy hardware a second chance at life. It's unheard of that a 2008-era processor can play nicely with a development version of Ubuntu, much less run a bunch of benchmarks that didn't exist back then.

ekio If Intel did 95x over the past 20 years, then AMD did ~200x over the past 20 years then, since they went from much less powerful to much more powerful… Reply
DS426 The geometric mean of all the benchmark results revealed that the Core Ultra X7 358H outperformed the Core 2 Duo T9300 by 21.5X. Intel has consistently pushed the boundaries of processor technology. Not consistently — at least not in terms of performance. 21.5 times in 18 years feels "meh" to me. Look at the perf gains from Skylake to Rocket Lake and you see where that strong momentum from the Core 2 and 1st-gen Core i days came in short, pulling those long-term gains downward. Reply

Gururu Wow a Tom's article about Intel and the only uses of the word 'but' are complimentary. Reply

Flayed The maximum turbo boost hasn't increased much since the Whisky Lake chip in 2018. Constraints of heat dissipation in a mobile form factor or performance per watt stagnating? Reply
