Not really trying to defend the specs here(AMD, yuck) but the CPU should be much faster than the one you have. It's not a straight 100MHz difference with all the processor changes between 2012 and 2015.

Thing is, there has been little "processor change". The new model still uses Haswell, which I think is barely 1-gen over the 2012 model.

Ah, I thought Ivy Bridge was newer than 2012 but I guess it's been kicking around for quite awhile now.
