Despite that beeing a faulty comparison, we can agree that the 1.5Ghz and the 3Ghz are equally as powerful in that analysis. That also proves the point. Clock speed does not equal power. Also lets link a proper benchmark: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/47?vs=677 Not only whats convenient for your argument, and the i7 is clearly more powerful.
But yeah i should've used a clearer example. I guess logic and common sense just isnt enough sometimes. |
As I said the overhead assosiated with multiple cores will mean that the i3 would still win in most benchmarks, tho roughly equal in synthetic tests. And the i7 in the benchmark is much closer in clock rate than in your example, in fact the gap is only half the difference and you won't find any benchmarks which are more than double the performance. So given your example the i3 would win in most benchmarks.
I never had a problem with the premise just your bad example. And clock rate does equal power using the same architecture and core count, I guess logic is a problem for some people.
