I was being extremely generous, but you are closer to the reality of the situation.

Back of the napkin-

assuming 2020 tech, 20 cores, 2.4ghz and ignoring all of the non-cpu complexity growth, it would be around 0.2 seconds lol.

If you were to wrap in the actual system complexity *operating frequency we’d probably be around 10ms equivalent complexity.

The reliability of modern computing systems is ridiculous.
