From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you the bogomips.
If your old core processor is slow, open the laptop up, remove and clean the fan, remove the heatsink and clean it and the processor die with isopropyl alcohol and apply new thermal grease before you put it all back together.
If you have bad I/o with an ssd of some sort, do a spinrite level 2 scan of the drive. It reads and then rewrites all the blocks, which fixes the problem.
I used this exact model for years and idk what your expectation is but I found it to be right fast.
Don’t bother benchmarking a laptop unless you’ve cleaned the dust out, regreased the cpu and run a lvl2 scan on the ssd. All you’ll have is a number that tells you “yep, it’s slow.” And someone like me will say exactly what I just did.
I don't get it. Why do you want a benchmark?
I usually just use primesieve as cpu benchmark
What do you mean by nuked?
It might be a reference to not having macos installed.
