cpu speed question
    #7615995 -

when a cpu says it's an AMD Athlon G4 X2 Dual-Core Processor 6000+, exactly how many ghtz does that mean it has?

AMD likes to name their processors kinda freaky...

That means (last I checked) that it's equivalent to the similar Intel chip running at 6GHz.

But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

That chip actually runs at 3GHz...it's dual core so they (the marketing execs) label it as "6000+" :rolleyes:

so is it two chips, 3.0 each or is the whole package only 3 gh?

The chip has two cores, each running at 3GHz. That doesn't "add up" to 6GHz :wink:

> The clock speed of personal computer processors is becoming more and more irrelevant as they advance.

I would claim that clock speed of processors has been irrelevant forever. It is a complete marketing gimmick that has no indication of a processors performance what-so-ever. If you want a meaningful metric, look at clock speed along with average CPI (cycles per instruction).

that one runs at 3 ghz.

the frequency of a processor does not tell you a lot about its computing power, unless your talking about different frequencies on the same type of core.

a pentium 4 northwood at 2.4 ghz is much slower than a core 2 duo conroe at 1.86 ghz.
