CPU Speed Comparision Needed
Go to solution
Solved by samcool55,
Yes, because you have IPC and clockspeed.
To keep it simple IPC is how much work it can do per tick
Clockspeed is how many ticks there are per second.
Let's take bulldozer(FX) and zen(ryzen) as an example.
Bulldozer, 5Ghz, no problem, but performance was crap because even tho it had a high frequency, it didn't exactly do much every tick.
Ryzen however has lower clockspeeds than Bulldozer but it does a lot more work per tick, the difference is so big that it can run at a much lower frequency and still perform better because the amount of work it can do per tick is a lot more.
