A recently suggested method for evaluating computer performance is applied to real processors. The method is based on notion of Computer Capacity, which is determined only by the computer architecture and can be computed theoretically on the design stage. The computer capacity for different Intel and AMD processors is calculated and the results are compared with those of widely recognized benchmarks. The obtained results show that computer capacity is a reasonable estimate of computer performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
