alt Hacker NewsAccording to Passmark the Pentinum 4 1.3Ghz is 55 times slower than a Raspberry Pi 5, so I'd guess it's at least two orders of magnitude. The original Pi is 16 times faster than a P4 1.3Ghz...
You can recycle e-waste (and yes, I know SOME e-waste ends up in China/India/etc. Not all does.)
The e-waste is of substantially less concern than the massive difference in carbon footprint from power consumption.

It isn't. Had both.
~700MHz mostly in-order ARM 11 without SIMD. Worked with these a lot.
..vs..
1.3GHz out-of-order with SIMD
