At 2.65 GHz, the clock is roughly 1.2× slower than a single performance core of a 16 GB Apple Silicon MacBook Pro — and that is before counting cores, width and IPC.
This held about 16,400 modern phone photos — a respectable library even today.
Launched at $1,599 in 2022 — about $1,711 in today’s money (approx., US CPI).
