I will try to keep an history of all my previous machine on this page...yes it is just a nerd/geek behavior...  | In 15 years... - Cost in euro are in green, are similar in amount, you just get more size, disk, speed for your buck
- 1208 times more IPS and my PC is still sometimes hanging (In order Vista, XP, Linux I look at you) :-(
- 81 times more disk space!
- Power consumption 360 watts today :-(
- PC are still slower than what I expect...
| Instructions per second (IPS) is a measure of a computer's processor speed. Many reported IPS
values have represented "peak" execution rates on artificial instruction sequences with few branches,
whereas realistic workloads consist of a mix of instructions and even applications, some of which take
longer to execute than others. The performance of the memory hierarchy also greatly affects processor
performance, an issue barely considered in MIPS calculations. Because of these problems, researchers
created standardized tests such as SPECint to (maybe) measure the real effective performance in
commonly used applications, and raw IPS has fallen into disuse. [WikiPedia]
