2005 was Pentium 4 era.

For comparison: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/1075vs5852/Intel-Pentiu...

That's about a 168x difference. That was from before Moores law started petering out.

For only a 5x speed difference you need to go back to the 4th or 5th generation Intel Core processors from about 10 years ago.

It is important to note that the speed figure above is computed by adding all of the cores together and that single core performance has not increased nearly as much. A lot of that difference is simply from comparing a single core processor with one that has 20 cores. Single core performance is only about 8 times faster than that ancient Pentium 4.
