Calm down, it'll end like the MHz (GHz) race did.

Calm down, it'll end like the MHz (GHz) race did.
- Herring 18y agoIncidentally, why was the MHz race a swindle?
- josefresco 18y agoThe MHz race wasn't a swindle, when MHz mattered it was a simpler world were you could compare processors without having to lookup meaningless product numbers like T850 or TL-60. The only thing you needed to remember was the Celeron/P4 distinction (and the AMD equivalent) Now each chip company spits out new products at higher and lower MHz which makes it even more confusing to consumers. Is a P4 4 GHz chip faster than a Core Duo 2.16 GHz, is a typical question I get from friends/family.
