Nope. It's not a 'fair' comparison.

Or would you please show me a 1985 PC that could actually run Kings Quest 5?

Doom on an average PC back then:

Note that those SX usually missed a mathematical coprocessor (FPU). My DX50 was way faster though still had issues sometimes.

I could show a video with Rayman Legends running 1080p60 on Wii U, PS4 and Xone. Conclusion, all three have the same speed. Wouldn't make sense though.

Or i could show SNES games with massive parallax scrolling, transparency effects and zooming effects a PC around 1990 could hardly handle or not at all.
At the same time i could show Starglider 2, a 1988 game the SNES could've hardly handled without a SuperFX chip.

I've done all that shit like installing a f...ing mouse driver making start discs because of not enough free 640K memory, knowing my sound cards DMA and IRQ for game setups...

At the same time i played on SNES, Amiga and other systems. I still know the pros and cons of all platforms back then very well.

Or how fast my heavily overclocked Celeron B was outdated even after changing my TNT2 for a GeForce.

Now, another comparison Hi Octane on a Pentium 200 vs Wipeout...

Thing is the Pentium 200 came out mid 1996.
