How much faster is a cpu from 2012 and a cpu from today when you compare them by single thread performance @ 3 ghz.

Moore's law is not about single thread performance, and attacks like this are easily parallelized anyway. Not to mention that fixing them at 3Ghz is just trying to coherce the conslusion to be that we have seen little gain in the last 5 years.

Irrelevant for this particular issue since finding SHA-1 collisions is embarrassingly parallel.

Single thread performance is completely irrelevant to Moore's law.
