Processing speed and microprocessor speed
Today we study about Processing speed, and microprocessor speed.
Below is a chart that compares and contrasts important features found on some of the more popular chips in the market today.
| | Transistors | CPU Speed | L2 Cache | Front-Side Bus Speed |
| Celeron | 7,500,000 | 1.06 GHz - 2 GHz | 256 KB,
full speed | 133 MHz and 400 MHz |
| Pentium II | 7,500,000 | 233 MHz - 450 MHz | 512 KB,
half speed | 100 MHz |
| Pentium III | 9,500,000 | 450 MHz - 1 GHz | 256 KB,
full speed | 133 MHz |
| Pentium III Xeon | 28,100,000 | 500 MHz - 1 GHz | 256 KB - 2 MB,
full speed | 100 MHz |
| Pentium 4 | 55,000,000 | 1.4 GHz - 3.4 GHz | 256 KB,
full speed | 800 MHz |
| K6-II | 9,300,000 | 500 MHz - 550 MHz | N/A | 100 MHz |
| K6-III | 21,300,000 | 400 MHz - 450 MHz | 256 KB,
full speed | 100 MHz |
| Athlon (K7) | 22,000,000 | 850 MHz - 1.2 GHz | 256 KB,
full speed | 200 MHz and 266 MHz |
| Athlon XP | 37,500,000 | 1.67 GHz | 384 KB,
full speed | 266 MHz |
| Duron | N/A | 700-800 MHz | 64 KB,
full speed | 200 MHz |
| PowerPC G3 | 6,500,000 | 233 MHz - 333 MHz | 512 KB, 1 MB,
half speed | 100 MHz |
| PowerPC G4 | 10,500,000 | 400 MHz - 800 MHz | 1 MB,
half speed | 100 MHz |
| Athlon 64 | 105,900,000 | 800 MHz | 1 MB,
half speed | 1.6 GHz |
| G5 | 58,000,000 | 2.5GHz | 512 KB | 900MHz - 1.25GHz |
1 GHz(Gigahertz) = 1000MHz (Megahertz)
- 1000GHz = 1THz (Terahertz)
- 0.001KHz = 1Hz(Kilo)
- 0.000001MHz = 1Hz(Mega)
- 0.000000001GHz = 1Hz(Giga)
- 0.000000000001THz = 1Hz(Tera)
