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.
But why? That's like trying to determine which car is faster by looking at only at the rpm.
Yes, but core count and clock speed of a nearly 10 year old CPU are meaningless when comparing to current processors.
