Figure 1: Comparison of widest CPUs in 2015 and 2025. Our STRAIGHT compiler, built on LLVM, has reached a level where it can compile and correctly execute all benchmarks from SPEC CPU2017, a widely used standard for evaluating CPU performance. His research interests span computer architecture and human-computer interaction.

Only in extreme circumstances does the cost (in processor time and I-cache footprint) translate to a tangible benefit - circumstances which usually resort to hand-coded assembly anyway. It shouldn't be 10%, unless it's cache effects. And for leaf routines (which never establish a frame), this is a non-issue.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. The Moto G4 , for example.

In 2015, Google published a blog post announcing Brotli and released its source code on GitHub. The service categorized all the optimizations in three groups consisting of several “Content,” “Delivery,” and “Cache” optimizations. In my benchmarks, Brotli:11 takes several hundred milliseconds to compress a single minified jQuery file.

The Tick-Tock release cycle basically fell apart by about 2015 , as Intel was unable to move from a 14nm manufacturing process to a 10nm manufacturing process. They will also have up to 256MB of L3 cache per processor. Intel has been stuck at 14nm in the server space since the Broadwell release in Q4 of 2016.

In real-life world, most products aren’t even close: an median bundle size today is around 417KB , which is up 42% compared to early 2015. Geekbench CPU performance benchmarks for the highest selling smartphones globally in 2019. On a middle-class mobile device, that accounts for 15–25 seconds for Time-To-Interactive.
