Instructions per Clock question

[greenroost1445]

So the thing is why aren't ipc and speed advertised on modern cpus???

[Prokart2000]

good point!

[Ryan Leech]

Because IPC really isn't a number, well it kind of is, but nothing the consumer would understand

Because IPC really isn't a number

really??? how

[Ryan Leech]

really??? how

it kind of is, but it's vastly too complicated to be understood by a consumer

They made horsepower and Megahertz understandable...

Well come up with something then...

[Lord Pantaloons]

Because Intel doesn't need to do it because we all know their IPC is better than AMD's and AMD won't do it because everyone knows their IPC is crap compared to Intel.

I was just wondering about this. Would it be IPC multiply by Hz = performance?

Basic theoretical spiel I just made up.

 

Instructions per clock (although I don't use any form of Mhz/Ghz comparisons, just a more is better situation)

 

The Computer computes with micro code being 1's and 0's, at the most basic levels of computing, you could call these the CPU instructions

The Programs you run have varied amount of 1's and 0's to compute when you do things,

like doing small math's workloads/predictions/interactions to get the achieved perfect result, "your intended interactions with your computer"

The different CPU's available all run at different speeds within the chip, and with varied power levels within the range as well.

The better CPU's can provide more 1's and 0's in lesser time than lesser capable CPU's and your programs/workload will get done faster.

Any ideas to market this into something that any idiot could understand?
