A 9700X is twice the performance of a 9900K and M5 Max is almost 3X the performance. The megahertz myth is a myth.
I replied to the sibling comment: I was making simplifying assumptions for two specific use cases and naively treated physical cores and clock rate as my variables.
Yes, but core count and clock speed of a nearly 10 year old CPU are meaningless when comparing to current processors.
But why? That's like trying to determine which car is faster by looking at only at the rpm.
