| Alby_da_Wolf said: Oh well, in that case, a slower clocked, but newer generation CPU could be a LOT faster than a faster clocked older one. But then, does this thread make any sense? (*) And shouldn't "professional" developers know that clock rate isn't a reliable index of performance, except than inside the same generation of the same architecture, and only Intel tried to make people believe this bullshit, just to have it backfiring when Pentium III couldn't have its clock increased anymore? (Kudos to them, anyway, when they managed to rip users off a second time with the P4, faster clocked than the Athlon, but actually slower than it). (*) Actually yes, the "deer God" off-topic is totally worth the thread anyway! |
Which has had me wondering about the translation or overall validity of this problem since I first read it.
