 You study three processors X1, X2, X3 which use the same

You study three processors X1, X2, X3 which use the same assembly language (instruction set architecture), but different clock rates. X2 is the fastest with 3.4 GHz clock, X1 has a 2 GHz clock, while the clock of X3 has a frequency of 1.6 GHz. Their CPI is also different, with X1 having a CPI =2 cycles/instructions, X2 CPI is 4 cycles/instruction and X3 has a CPI of 1.4. 1) If you consider that CPU Performance is number of instructions executed/second then which of X1, X2 or X3 is the most performant? 2) Each of the processors executes the same app for 8 seconds, some finish it, some not. In this time how many cycles did each processor clock run? 3) How many instructions did each of the three processors execute in the 8 seconds
