It's much heavier though, but at that much more repairable and sturdier.

But hey, they're thinner now, which I'm sure makes some marketeer somewhere very happy for reasons I'll never understand.
Edit: the P43 seems pretty interesting, so there's that option.
CPUBenchmark.net scores them 8757 and 8669 respectively. There's no "destroying" of any kind going on.
