Performance comparison of two processors.
How to choose the best
Let’s see how you can quickly compare two processors in terms of their speed and choose the best one.
Earlier, ten years ago, there was no such problem. It was necessary to look at the frequency of the processor and it immediately became clear which processor was more powerful. Now the frequency of the processor practically does not say anything. Processors need to be compared according to test results, according to their final performance.
So, there is a task — to purchase an inexpensive laptop, while with maximum performance.
On one of the sites we found two laptops suitable for our financial possibilities. The Lenovo laptop has a 2-core AMD E1 6010 processor with a frequency of 2 * 1350 MHz. The DEXP laptop also has a 2-core Intel Celeron N2840 processor with a frequency of 2/2160 MHz.
As we have already noted, if this had happened ten years ago, there would have been no questions. The second laptop in terms of performance should be twice as powerful.
But, in today’s situation, we will test.
For a quick comparison of CPU performance, check out cpuboss.com.
There are two fields on the main page of the site. They are designed to enter the name of the laptop processor. Below these fields is the COMPARE button. After entering the names of the processors, press this button.
The site will compare processors and display the result.
As you can see in the image above, the Intel Celeron N2840 processor has a slight advantage in overall performance — about 2%.
We go down the page of the site below. On the left side there will be a more detailed description of the results of the processors shown in individual tests. These data are more specific and, with a general equality of indicators, you can rely on them when choosing a laptop.
We go even lower on the site page. We find a brief description of the characteristics of these processors.
Here you can see such indicators as overclocking frequency, chip manufacturing technology, energy consumption, 3DMark06 (performance comparison program), release date of processors.
Almost in all respects, except for energy consumption (here, AMD’s advantage is more than twofold), Intel Celeron has the advantage.
You can get acquainted with the specifications of the processors by going even further down the page.
So you can roughly determine the performance of the processor.
Please note that this comparison method is not 100% accurate! A small error is allowed.
When you decide on specific laptop models, it is better to familiarize yourself with the «live» results of processor testing. The same processors on different laptops give different performance. The processor depends on the accompanying laptop components, layout, circuitry, chipset, on the basis of which the motherboard is made.
