It’s 2.48GHz. If that’s slow depends on how much work is done per update. In absolute terms, giga means milliard. 109. It’s a very high number. For context, ARM Cortex A520 updates at 2Ghz (Though it’s designed to be paired with a Cortex X4 which can update at 3GHz). A520 is brand new and used in Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm’s top product.
The clock rate isn’t a wholistic performance indicator. It describes how often the CPU core can perform an action. But imagine a scenario where one CPU can do something that another CPU needs to do in steps. Then the more basic CPU needs to run faster by a factor corresponding to the number of extra steps. That very quickly becomes infeasible as electricity (and heat) will also scale by the same factor.
Slow but still impressive.
Why do you say it’s slow? Are there benchmarks?
2 ghz is slow
