The CPU executes the code in a sequential manner hence the performance of the CPU-bound code is directly related to CPU frequency. This used to be our “Free Lunch”: an old program runs faster on a new CPU. Using this assumption with modern low power consumption multi-core CPUs is wrong, we might even find...
