> Yet those old machines had full GUI OSes and performant apps and snappy interactivity in their day. Is the sheer amount of computation required to facilitate TLS 1.3 really more than what was needed to run entire interactive GUI operating systems of that era? Yes. Some is raw speed - we are talking about going from 10Mhz 16 bit (on a 286 or 68020) to 2.4Ghz+, multiple cores and 64 bit. This probably sums it up best: you needed a processor capable of about 2 MIPS (386sx, 68020) (yes MIPS is a naive benchmark) to run a color GUI nicely. You bog-standard modern i7 laptop does around 100,000 MIPS. |
