Performance

=__Measures of Processing Speed__=


 * __Clock Speed:__**
 * This is how many clock pulses the processor can deal with per second. The faster the clock speed, the faster the processor will perform. However, if there is not that big of a difference between clock speeds, other factors can make the processor run faster.
 * __[[image:webkit-fake-url://24970826-2424-48CE-A4CE-8F72F8E0779C/image.pict]]Mips(Millions of Instructions per Second):__**
 * This measure of system performance is the number if instructions that the processor executes per second. A disadvantage however is that due to no standard set of instructions, manufacturers could take simpler ways than others.

__**Flops(Floating Point Instructions per Second):**__
 * The procedures involved in doing a floating point multiplication are the same for every processor and the operations are used in most software. This provides a reasonable comparison of system performance between processors as it follows a set of standard instructions.
