Question:
Ben builds a 1 GHz processor where two important programs, A and B, take one second each to execute. Each program has a CPI of 2. Elaine is tasked with designing the company's next-generation processor. She comes up with an idea that improves the CPI of A to 1.5 and the CPI of B to 1.8. But the idea is so complex that the processor can only be implemented with a cycle time of 1.2 ns. Does Elaine's new processor out-perform Ben's processor on program A? How about on program B?
