Processing Speed

Here is a recent comment from a client:

I thought I had remembered that processor speed was everything from a prior email. So, good to verify - as an FYI - so far I’ve tried 2 Dells one with a 6 core 2.8 and the other with a quad
core 2.6 – that first one REALLY was noticeably faster.

Thanks,

Using calculations 6 x 2.8 = 16.8, 4 x 2.6 = 10.4, So we would expect the 6 core to be 60% faster than the 4 core.

How useful are the Window Experience Index scores in accessing computer systems? Would a standard benchmark model be an idea with people sending in their times and 'Experience scorecards?
