Part 1 : Performance Evaluation ( 2 0 points ) Three different processors P 1 , P 2 , P 3 executing the same set

Part 1: Performance Evaluation (20 points)
Three different processors P1,P2,P3 executing the same set of instructions. P1 has a 3GHz clock rate and a CPI of 1.5. P2 has 2GHz clock rate and CPI of 1.2.P3 has 4GHz and CPI of 2.4.
a.[5 pts] Which processor has the best performance for that set of instruction? Which is worst?
b.[5 pts] Assume the CPI for these three processors remains the same as specified to run a program of 1 billion instructions, how much time does each processors take to run this program?
c.[5 pts] A new generation of these processors have been announced by the vendors of each processor and due to microarchitecture innovations, each decreases its CPI by 25%(()new), however due to the added complexity, each processor decreases it frequency by a percentage % according to the inverse of 2x of the old Clock Freq new = Clock Freq old )old which processor has the best performance and which is worst now for this new generation of processors?
d.[5 pts] TSMC has moved to a new process node (a new generation of technology) and each vendor moved the same design to this new technology node to implement these processors. As a result, each processor is able to run 5CPI % faster than the old clock maintaining the same CPI as before (in c).( Clock ?new= Clock CPI (:?old}), which processor has the best performance, and which is worst now for these processors implemented in the new technology?
