So I'm sitting here at my old desktop that I have hooked up for when I forget my laptop at home, and it's entirely usable for basic office tasks. So I decided to to a quick benchmark against my phone to give everyone an idea of how far mobile has come, and how usable old computers are vs new phones.
I have a Samsung S4 with the Snapdragon 600 quad core running at 1.9ghz.
The desktop is a single core S754 Athlon 64 3400+ Venice core at 2.4ghz with 1.5ghz of DDR400 ram on Windows XP. This CPU was released in 2004 ish
I ran the kraken benchmark both on chrome since web browsing is my primary use case on this machine.
6847ms - Athlon 64 3400+
10104ms - Snapdragon 600 at 1.9ghz
Frankly, I expected the 600 to match the Athlon but that wasn't the case.
