Commadore64 vs. Nvidia GB10

1 points by spottedmarley ↗ HN
One of my first PCs was a C64 (my very first was a TRS80)

Today I have a Dell Pro Max GB10 (2, actually)

I started thinking about how far tech has come since those days so I asked Grok to try and calculate for me how many C64s would be required to match the processing power of one GB10.

Grok's answer: Between 10- and 50-billion C64s (depending on how you compare them, they are not strictly comparable)

Anyway, that's quite a 40yr leap!

this is why people look down on grok users... you don't have to like it, but it is the sentiment you inspire when your write things like this, pause and reflect on the conversation thus far

and please be respectful to others on HN, also other humans generally
