- earenndil 7y agoGHz are basically meaningless. The 2GHz CPU in my laptop is an order of magnitude faster than anything 3GHz from 2003.
- ricardobeat 7y agoTrue for practical uses, most of the performance increase comes from more bandwidth and parallelism. But it's a mere 2-4x increase for single-thread performance, over 15+ years: https://preshing.com/images/integer-perf.png https://preshing.com/images/integer-perf.png
- fwip 7y agoIPC's gone up quite a bit though, right?
- chimpburger 7y agoMoore's law is specifically about transistor count/density only.
