To compare two processors we typically would have to compare cost, performance and energy/power consumption. These three factors will have different weights bepending on the intended use of the processor. For example, energy has a hight weight in a decission if the intended use is for a mobile device.   Based on the problem provided not enough details around cost, energy and intended use are provided. As such perfomance is left in making a comparison. To make this comparison we'll leverage the Performance Equation Equation.   \begin{definition}  We can assume that the workload between processors is the same which means that $IC$ is contant, which leaves us with $CPI$ and $CT$.: \begin{displaymath}{L = IC*CPI*CT}\end{displaymath}  \end{definition}
