A graphic design company is looking to upgrade their computers to reduce the time it takes to render complex 3D models. The current computers have processors that run at 2.5 GHz. Which new processor specification would be most likely to shorten the rendering time?
Within the same processor family and generation, a higher clock speed (measured in gigahertz) indicates the CPU can execute more cycles per second. A 3.2 GHz processor completes roughly 3.2 billion cycles per second, compared with 2.5 billion cycles on the existing 2.5 GHz chips. Therefore, it should finish CPU-bound tasks-such as rendering-more quickly. The 2.2 GHz and 2400 MHz (2.4 GHz) options are slower than the current 2.5 GHz parts, while upgrading to a 1 TB SSD affects storage capacity and I/O, not raw CPU rendering performance.
