Hacker News with Generative AI: Moore's Law

Ask HN: Can a 5 year old i7 laptop compete with one made today? (ycombinator.com)
Moore's Law is mostly dead, so current i7s aren't much faster than the ones made many years ago. I'm thinking of buying a 5-year-old Dell i7 laptop, which will mostly give me the same speed as the latest model. Am I right? Is it worth saving the money? I mostly use spreadsheets and web apps.
