Title kind of says it all but it's still baffling. Running an old ass amd fx with 24 gig ram in the other computer. Work laptop is an i7 with 64 gigs of ram and is still slower in daily use. Both have ssd boot drives.

Granted im comparing desktop and laptop. But a 15 year difference is pretty crazy to me.

And the i7 is.... What.... I7 in laptops don't mean a lot as many are low speed CPUs and some are high where as on desktop they are almost always high-end.

Regardless it's an i7 that is 15 years newer than my amd fx, and the fx wasn't a good cpu when it was new . I don't recall the i7 model off the top of my head
