The old standard of listing the ghz of a cpu seems to be outdated nowadays. So when I have a customer ask me, "What is the difference between this core 2 duo 6300 and this Athlon 64 x2 4800+?" I do not have the full range of info to offer them.
I know that they are both dual core. But the ghz is never listed on them anymore it seems. To make matters worse are the notebook cpu's that don't seem to follow any sort of naming convention when it comes to speeds.
Could someone describe, simply, how to compair cpu's nowadays? Is there some hidden code in their names that you can derive a general performance off of?
I can't go telling customers that a core 2 duo that lists at 1.86ghz is actually twice that fast, because its not. Should I just use retarded catch phrases like every other salesman, and just tell them its "blazingly fast" without any sort of info?
