The megahertz myth, or in more recent cases the gigahertz myth, refers to the misconception of only using clock rate (for example measured in megahertz or gigahertz) to compare the performance of different microprocessors. While clock rates are a valid way of comparing the performance of different speeds of the same model and type of processor, other factors such as an amount of execution units, pipeline depth, cache hierarchy, branch prediction, and instruction sets can greatly affect the performance when considering different processors. For example, one processor may take two clock cycles to add two numbers and another clock cycle to multiply by a third number, whereas another processor may do the same calculation in two clock cycles. Comparisons between different types of processors ar

  • «Миф о мегагерцах» (иногда «Миф о гигагерцах») — выражение и описываемое им заблуждение, что процессоры с более высокой тактовой частотой всегда имеют более высокую производительность, чем процессоры с более низкой тактовой частотой. Оно получило популярность благодаря маркетинговой компании Apple, использовавшей в компьютерах Macintosh процессоры PowerPC, работавшие на частоте, значительно меньшей, чем конкурирующие процессоры Intel Pentium 4.

  • Le mythe du mégahertz est une croyance selon laquelle la fréquence d'horloge permet de comparer les performances des microprocesseurs. Bien que la fréquence d'horloge soit un bon outil pour comparer les performances d'un même type de processeur, d'autres facteurs changent grandement la donne quand il s'agit de processeurs différents. Les autres facteurs qui influencent la performance sont l'architecture interne des processeurs, la taille et le nombre de registres, la taille et l'organisation des différents niveaux de cache, etc. (fr)
  • Megahertzmyten är ett folkligt namn på missuppfattningen att en processors prestanda enbart beror på dess klockfrekvens (som när myten började få spridning oftast mättes i megahertz). Stora elektronikföretag, däribland Intel, har anklagats för att upprätthålla myten genom att ganska ensidigt betona klockfrekvensen i sin marknadsföring, trots att åtskilliga andra tekniska faktorer påverkar en processors prestanda; detta gällde till exempel tidiga versioner av Pentium 4 (Willamette) som var "snabbare på pappret" än Pentium III, trots att de i praktiken gav lägre prestanda för merparten tillämpningar.
