10 years old CPU (i7 4790) is still a decent and fully usable for everything except few unoptimised AAA games and jetbraing IDEs. It is performance equivalent to late 2021 mobile i5 10300h. The gap between different CPUs lines is huge. Back in 2020 you could buy a new celeron n3060 laptop with performance of pentium dual core from 2006. It was a straight e-waste, but people actually did something on it.
