"Processor performance" refers to how well a computer's central processing unit (CPU) can handle and execute tasks. It measures the speed and efficiency of a processor in performing calculations, running software, and completing various operations. The better the
processor performance, the faster and more effectively the computer can handle tasks and run programs.

The combination of solid build quality, a slick UI with a good selection of apps, backed by very
solid processor performance is actually quite astounding.
It's simultaneously a 2 - in - 1 and an extremely powerful PC that offers the
best processor performance we've seen from a dual - core notebook this year.
That last feature is the result of a hailstorm of criticism and bad press that Apple faced when it was discovered that iOS automatically slows down
peak processor performance in some iPhones to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
Without making it clear to iPhone owners — and without giving them a choice — the company
throttles processor performance on aging devices with degrading batteries.
While it does well the Blade Stealth is eclipsed by the Core i7 Surface Laptop for
pure processor performance and proper gaming laptops like the 14 - inch Blade due better in multi-core tests.
«While we expect battery capacity to decrease as batteries age, we
expect processor performance to stay the same,» Primate Labs founder John Poole explains.
That said, that Tegra 2 means strong
overall processor performance, with smooth UI navigation and fast loading times for most Flash - based websites.
However, the good thing about this entire episode is that the move will prove beneficial in the end since MSI «s delay is on account of integrating the much more efficient Intel Oak Trail platform, which is slated to make its debut in the first half of next year and is expected to
take processor performance to an entirely new level.
For a system that costs more than twice as much as the Velocity Micro and the Digital Storm systems, you'll see in our charts that the Mach V can't deliver the
same processor performance.
The faster
processor performance makes the app loading and a host of operation faster, so this basically makes the Google Nexus 10 the fastest Android tablet to date, and the difference is actually perceptible, which is great for prospective buyers.
It should offer
similar processor performance, but does not offer Xeon processors or GPUs with professional - grade drivers, traits that do matter to some buyers.
Its latest devices use more advanced hardware and a different power management system that allows iOS to avoid unexpected shutdowns without having to
cap processor performance.
(Apple still sells the 2015 15 - inch MacBook Pro, but while it has
comparable processor performance and a better keyboard, it lacks the 2016 version's improved screen, faster components and GPUs, Thunderbolt 3 ports, Touch Bar, and larger trackpad.
Apple still maintains that throttling
processor performance needs to be done on iPhones with aging batteries to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
Meltdown and Spectre, another chip vulnerability revealed at the same time, take advantage of a
modern processor performance feature called speculative execution, which improves speed by operating on instructions which may be used in future.
Still, all batteries inevitably degrade as they're charged over and over again, and as it turns out, Apple's iOS deals with this problem by throttling
processor performance later in a battery's lifespan to limit energy consumption.
Apple has programmed iOS to restrict peak
processor performance once a battery has lost 20 percent of its original capacity — which, for most users, typically happens after roughly two years of use.
Poole plotted the distribution of iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 benchmarking scores, observing that it does indeed appear to be the case that
processor performance reduces as battery condition decreases.
The desktop comes with Lenovo's exclusive Onekey Overclocking feature that allows users to unleash
extreme processor performance, ie, «overclock,» at the click of a button while simultaneously preventing the PC from overheating thanks to its liquid cooling system.
We use all off - the - shelf tests that have been used to
qualify processor performance for years, including GFXBench, Geekbench 4, 3DMark, Vellamo, AnTuTu, and Basemark OS.
The Dell Precision M3800 is a great laptop with superb desktop -
like processor performance, a powerful GPU and a truly gorgeous thin - and - light design that we think has a real edge over the majority of laptops on the market today.
In both synthetic and real - life benchmark tests, the Aspire E 15 provided
excellent processor performance and had more than sufficient power to churn through just about any productivity task.
Billed by most commentators as an incremental rather than major upgrade, it sports dual cameras (front and rear) to support its Facetime video conferencing, a doubling
of processor performance, and thinner, lighter construction.
The new A10X CPU features 30 percent
faster processor performance than the A9X and 40 percent faster graphics performance, according to Apple's usual keynote - style figures.
On Geekbench 3, which measures a device's
multicore processor performance, the LG G Pad 8.3 scored 1,717, crushing the iPad mini's score of 761, the Galaxy Tab 3's score of 800 and the tablet category average of 1,593.
If you're looking for a notebook with
solid processor performance and improved graphics performance, than Dell's use of AMD's latest round in the GPU wars offers up a solid option.
