Why is speeds related to tech (like CPU, GPU, RAM speeds) are calculated in Hz? Why is it that we do not say how much data is processed in a given time. Like we do with wifi or network speeds?
In: Technology
Sometimes a more useful metric of performance for a cpu is the MIPs (millions of operations per second) and FlOPS (floating point operations per second). These are handy because they take into account pipelining and other factors that can speed up execution.
But why stop there? There are published benchmarks designed for all kinds of computer use, from gaming to AI to workbench use and beyond, that carefully simulate real world experiences.
