What is the performance of INNER JOIN vs WHERE?

How can I compare performance of computers with duo-core chips vs. the older models w/ chips like the Pentium?

  • When chips were climbing the performance curve, you could compare them by looking at operating speeds, e.g the Athlon started out at a 1 Gig speed, Pentium got up to 2.8 Gigahertz, etc. Then duo-core chips came out with ratings I didn't understand. How do I compare the performance of various computers having the duo-core chips such as the T-58, 59, 60 and 61? And how do I compare them to the older chips? Is there a yardstick of some sort for performance comparisons? If you can answer, or there is a resource you can send me, to it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Answer:

    It sucks, you have to look it up a bit for the ghz. More buzz crap. [For Dual] They're roughly twice as fast (minus a bit of overhead, both on the chip & in the OS) as a regular chip for software/OS that allows for it.

hmmmmmm, very interesting later generation processors today use multi cored technologies (even though they sometimes run at the same GHz speeds as the older Pentium processors, they can process things more efficiently which does improve performance) Dr. hardware is a pretty neat benchmarking program to use for comparing the performance of different computers and it's very detailed about cpu, system board, and chipset performance they have a free version (although slightly limited in functionality) for download here: http://www.dr-hardware.com/

well u hav to look at the Ghz double it (if its dual core) then take away about 500Mhz for heat and normal runnig n then u can compare them hope this helps :)
