ni, thats my point…
I’ll just mention once again that most of the transistor count on a modern CPU die is L2 cache, and you’ll just ignore that entirely on your next post, OK?
Shouldn’t computer power be a measurement that can be applied across architectures, and not be transitor based? Maybe this is something Sysmark is trying to do.
What did they use before transitors (the vacuum tube era)?
What happens when transitors are no longer used in PC chips?
In autos you have horsepower, which can be measured regardless of engine size, type or complexity.
If transitor count and CPU processing power increases can be coorelated, then Moore’s law has some validity. Otherwise, I think you would need a more independent measurement.
iAnd your point is…?/i
What’s the difference in performance between a Pentium 4 HT 520, clocked at 2800MHz, with 1MB L2 cache and 125M transistors and a Pentium 4 HT 620, clocked at 2800MHz, with 2MB L2 cache and 169M transistors?
and my point is…?
