Best Answer

Early mainframe computers had less capability than the computer used in your car's keyfob to lock/unlock the doors, etc.

Mainframe computers of the 1960s had less capability than the most basic handheld electronic calculators sold today.

Modern mainframe computers are very powerful and usually have capabilities comparable to several dozen high end gaming desktop computers.

The capabilities of any computer varies proportional to the state of the art for the engineering used at the time it was built.
