Research Reveals Mislaid Microprocessor Megahertz

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the are-we-there-yet dept.

SlashRating© 6*10^23 slashdottit! tm ransom1982 noted a new article on The Register that says "Not only are chip companies regularly releasing ever-faster microprocessors, but new research has revealed that modern CPUs actually lose megahertz over time." This makes it even more complicated to compare the performance of Intel and AMD CPUs since you have differing architecture, clockspeeds AND the year of manufacture to consider. Buyer beware!

    Whoo! Man I just can't get enough of these April Fools jokes! I'm just holding my sides here. No. Really. Honest.

    I love how Slashdot is entirely useless for a whole day. JESUS BUT THIS IS FUNNY.

    Please, no matter what you do - please don't stop. I can't get enough. There's nothing like having Fark be more useful than Slashdot. Holy crap but I'm in stitches here. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    No, really. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
