Linux Kernel Set To Finally Retire AMD 3DNow!

AMD Phenom(tm) 8400 Triple-Core Processor

The slowest processor I have.

I am thinking it could be due to unoptimized SSH daemon (this is openSUSE Leap) or using a cipher which is too complicated for the processor...

That explains it, Phenom 1 with 2.1 GHz and I have Phenom 2 with 3.2 GHz. The SFTP encryption probably uses only 1 core.

and we have measure for costs, it's called money. production of energy for old hardware also needs mining and refining
then you should focus on fixing this problem instead of inventing problems which don't exist

Unless he runs it off solar energy coming from the top of his house's roof.. popular recently.

it still can be measured in money. energy for production can also come from solar panels btw

[pal666]

Nobody is suggesting we produce more old ("new old"?) hardware

nobody was talking about costs of production of it either. i was talking about cost of powering existing old energy-inefficient hardware

[yump]

No it is not. At this point, and with energy prices skyrocketing, it makes no sense to use such an old and power hungry system for that role. The money you are going to save just on electricity alone can pay for even a new budget system.....

Unfortunately this is not the case unless your new budget system is a used laptop or an OEM PC specifically built for low power. Desktops have idled at about 50 W for like 10 years.

People conveniently ignore that old hardware can be recycled, which saves costs on mining, transporting etc of materials for the new hardware...

Recycling often costs more (money) than mining.

Might cost more but adds less contamination into environment. Might wanna look up how much fresh water etc gets fouled in process of chip manufacturing..
