I have major doubts about it being faster. Concrete forms for a standard house can be set up in a few hours with a small crew of 5-10 people. And with a line of concrete trucks it can take a few hours to pour the walls, the forms are usually removed the following day, and the walls are useable immediately. From start to finish poured walls can take 1-2 days to set up and pour.

The article says it will take 330 hours to print this house, which is way more time then it would take to set up forms and pour concrete walls.

While it's not super helpful, generation is the most useful singular spec to tell CPUs apart these days. Even the i3/i5/i7/i9 branding breaks down, since a 12th gen i3 can perform as well as an 11th gen i5.

GHz doesn't really matter anymore, except when comparing CPUs within the same generation.

To get a clear idea of what really differentiates one CPU from another, you pretty much have to look at benchmark scores. There's just too many variables to meaningfully compare on paper.
