How well are these components in a notebook and for how long Future-proof gaming notebook 15.6 "AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, 4X 2.00GHz, AMD Radeon RX 560X 4GB,?
In the 1960s, one rule (More's Law) was asserted: Correspondingly, "The power of computers doubles every year"
That means: If you bought a computer for x € last year, you'll get twice as good for the same x € this year
So far, the claim is correct. Example:
In 1984 you got for about 1000 DM a C64 (including monitor tape drive, joystick and mouse) (which was a single-core 8-bit processor with 0.99 MHz and 65536 bytes of RAM) of about 350,000 commands per second could run.
So in 2016, 32 years later, a computer would have to have 2 ^ 32 = 4,294,967,296 times as much power for 511 euro
In 2016, for about 500 euro, there was a dual-core 64-bit processor with 1.6 Ghz and 4Gb of RAM that could handle about 3,000,000,000 instructions per second and process 8 times as many bits per instruction as up to 192,000,000,000 bits per second instead of 8 * 350000 = 2.800.000 so it is about 1920.0000 / 28 = 68571.43 times as fast and has 65536 times as much memory. If you multiply the two values, the computer of 2016 has a power of 5,242,880,000 times that of the C64.
The prediction of More's Law is therefore not quite accurate. It's just a rule of thumb.
Actually, you would have to additionally consider the performance of the sound processor and the graphics processor, but I do not know the details like that. Actually, one would also have to consider the increase in hard disk capacity. That does not work: 1984 there was no compatible hard drive for the C64. The came only in 1987 or 1988 on the market about 2000 DM for a 20 MB hard drive. For the same price you get today, for example One 16TB hard drive: https://www.amazon.de/...07C9MN212/
16,000,000,000,000 / 20,000,000 = 800,000 times as much capacity. But you can also buy 20 single 1TB hard drives for 1,000 euro so 1,000,000 times as much capacity. The value would have to multiply by the factor of the increased access / read / write speed and the data throughput but I know neither the values of the former 20 MB HDD nor the current 1 to 16 TB HDDs or SSDs
I assume that the statement from the 1960s will remain valid for the next 10 years.
Conclusion: no matter how good the calculator is: Next year, there are twice as good, in 3 years, an 8 times as good, in 6 years, a 64 times as good for the same price.
"Future proof" is stupid with computers.
