I can think of two possible reasons:

  • One, the CPU in the PI is much slower. The M92p uses an x86_64 CPU architecture, while the Pi uses an ARM CPU. CISC processors use more power, but are much faster for some applications than RISC processors. I believe there have been some optimizations for ARM recently for Bitcoin Core, but I don't know how much of a difference it makes.

  • Two, there are quite a few reads and writes to the hard drive during the synchronization. I would guess that your Pi's hard drive is connected via USB, while the hard drive in the M92p is connected via SATA. SATA is much faster than USB.

AES acceleration does not matter since neither CPU(AES is only used for wallet encryption, not for synchronization), and Bitcoin Core has no support for making use of it. It does have support for SHA256 acceleration on some CPUs, but the laptop CPU doesn't support it, and support for ARM acceleration will only be available in the 23.0 release.
