Question: hree different processors P 1 , P 2 , P 3 executing the same set of instructions. P 1 has a 3 GHz clock rate

hree different processors P1, P2, P3 executing the same set of instructions. P1 has a 3 GHz clock rate and a CPI of 1.5. P2 has 2 GHz clock rate and CPI of 1.2. P3 has 4 GHz and CPI of 2.4.
[5 pts] A new generation of these processors have been announced by the vendors of each processor and due to microarchitecture innovations, each decreases its CPI by 25%(CPI_new=CPI_old /1.25), however due to the added complexity, each processor decreases it frequency by a percentage % according to the inverse of 2X of the old CPI (Clock Freqnew = Clock Freqold /(1+1/(2\times CPI_old)) which processor has the best performance and which is worst now for this new generation of processors?
