We are going to study different current
workstation processors and compare them in
terms:
frequency
size of cache
characteristics of the processor
power consumption
cost
technology advances.

Conclusion
 Current processor technology has reached
impressive levels and is advancing at a high
speed
 When looking for a processor to buy, the
appropriate processor will depend on the
needs, considering the different trade-offs that
can emerge in the analysis of the different
workstation processors.
Ex. More speed mean more power
consumption.

To collect specifications from different
current workstation processors is not easy.
ArcOm recognizes that it would be too hard
to find them as quick as we did without the
help of the internet resources we have at
the campus. We specially recognize the
significant help get from search pages as
