processor speed?

Question

is there a big difference between 1.9 ghz and 2.0

Answer 1

No, it doesn't matter. But see carefully, there may be some more difference, like L2 cache size. Now, that really matters. Plus, it is not fair to compare Ghz so narrowly between differently designed processors. e.g. Core Duo 2 Ghz is likely to be faster than Pentium 4 running at 2.5 GHz.
I would not advice spending any considerable money for 0.1 GHz, there are better places to spend money, e.g. RAM and graphics card...
If we want help with choice, u can post more details regarding the processors you are considering.

Answer 2

1.9 Ghz = 1 900 000 000 basic instruction executions per second,
2.0 Ghz = 2 000 000 000 basic instruction executions per second.
Its the difference of 100 000 000 instruction executions.
The Ghz represent the clock ticks per second actually. So it definitely makes a difference. Remember, in old days 66 Mhz computers were double as fast as 33 Mhz computers. Then the difference was 33 Mhz, here it is 100 Mhz . but a program which runs fine on 1.9 will run no better on 2.0. And a program which not at all runs on 1.9 due to speed problem, will also not run on 2.0. Programs falling in the middle category will impress you a bit.

Answer 3

None whatsoever.

Ask around and you will find that average computing speed doesn't increase dramatically if the processor speed goes up from 1 GHz to 3 GHz.

People who are likely to see any benefit are the ones that run computation intensive tasks like audio/video, databases, gaming etc.

Answer 4

NOPE
0.1 Ghz = 100 Mhz

Answer 5

not really but when you go buy a computer its obvious you get the faster of the 2 no matter now smal the difference

Answer 6

The difference would be so small that it would not be noticed.
