#123590 - MIPS? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Is it, or is it not generally accepted that the computing power of any processor, ยต or otherwise, is directly proportional to its execution rate? If so, then wouldn't the answer depend on the mean number of clock cycles per instruction for each processor, and the speed of the oscillator/crystal driving it?
Otherwise, I suppose the most powerful one would be the one that dissipates the most watts, which ironically would be a bad thing, no? |
