Benchmarks CPU 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.
