i have a question PLZS ANSWER

[Guest]

You Have: 2 processors running - AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-56,You Have: 1.81 GHz Performance Rated at 3.66 GHz does this mean my cpu speed is 1.81 ghz or 3.66 ghz??? plzs answer

[D.8080]

Effective (real) frequency, 1.81 ghz.

Rated frequency 3.66 ghz.


Effective is the real speed. But because of architecture and other internal stuff, it runs like (it performs like) a 3.66 ghz (I assume an Intel cpu), running at that real frequency in most benchmarks.


It's just about rating: I have a car that is a V8 3000 that performs like a V12 3000...

The Turion X2 1.81 doesn't mean work 1.81+.181= 3.62 ghz power, in fact you have two different cores that can do 2 thyings at a time, making it go faster as it can compute in parallel instead of waiting in line...



Ok, lame examples but you get the point.


Same as Athlon Xp 3000+, real freq is 2 ghz I think, but performs like a pentium 4 at 3 ghz, so for marketing they call it a 3000 to help costumers to compare.

It's late here, so here it is as is...
