If a processor has a clock speed of 1.8 GHz and executes 2 instructions per cycle, what is its MIPS rating?
Q1. If a processor has a clock speed of 1.8 GHz and executes 2 instructions per cycle, what is its MIPS rating?
Answer: 3600 MIPS
Explanation: MIPS rating = clock speed * instructions per cycle / 10^6 = 1.8 * 10^9 * 2 / 10^6 = 3600
