Theoretical evaluation of computational power of Intel processors
Abstract
In this paper, we describe the application of innovative method of theoretical benchmark test of processors and computing systems to major Intel processors. This method is based on determin-ing the computational power of the processor – characteristic based on the basic concepts of in-formation theory. This method is applied to determine computational power of the main Intel processors (from 80486 to Core 2 Duo). Based on the characteristic values the processors are compared with each other and the final results are compared with the generally accepted benchmark.
