The claim has a non linked URL where they compare the performance of a core i3 6th gen from a decade ago (presumably with 4gb ram) with a core ultra 5 just out (presumably with quadruple the RAM)

    I’ve seen gamers do this exact same thing when they say NVME drives load games an order of magnitude quicker than the SATA SSDs they were using.

    Never do they mention that the NVME drive was in an entirely new PC using a much better CPU…

      SATA 600MB/S

      NVME 3500MB/S

      Maybe not an order of magnitude faster, but at least 5x faster…

      Don’t @ me about the numbers, just did a quick search for their read speeds.

        Right, now load the same game onto each and measure the load times.

        Depending on the game, one will be like 6 seconds and the slow drive will be like 6.2

        Because most game loading is CPU bound.
