The S22 has a 2.4Ghz CPU … about 12 times faster than a 200mhz CPU … BUT THE S22 SMARTPHONE HAS AN OCTACORE!!! which means there are eight similar cores on the phone!!! (and that’s also not counting the S22 built in GPU that also runs at about 800mhz!!)
8Gigs of RAM is 4,000 times more data RAM than 16MB of RAM!!!
I also have 128 GB of storage which is about 60 times more than 2GB
… and with the payment plan with my mobile company, I’m going to pay about $500 for my phone
… and I can fit my phone inside my pocket!!! Instead of a 20lb desktop computer and a 30lb CRT monitor!!!
And today’s smartphones all have multiple built in cameras that have a lot more resolution and speed than anything in 1998 … not to mention it accesses high speed internet and is capable of streaming high definition audio and video over a mobile network!!! I even have relatives who travel in the wilderness in northern Ontario and can access all of this using satellite internet service!!!
All that has only been a change of about 25 years … I don’t think people think about how fast that change happened during our lifetimes. It’s amazing when you stop to think about it.
And you can’t even compare clock speeds to a 90s chip, today’s chip’s single core performance at 100 MHz is prob 10s of times faster than it was three decades ago.
(Why we need such CPUs in our phoners if not for spyware? I’m def not using all it’s might to browse lemmy.)
