The Pentium 4 Prescott processor, released in 2004, had a clock rate of 3.6 GHz and voltage of 1.25 V. Assume that, on average, it consumed 10 W of static power and 90 W of dynamic power. The Core i5 Ivy Bridge, released in 2012, had a clock rate of 3.4 GHz and voltage of 0.9 V. Assume that, on average, it consumed 30 W of static power and 40 W of dynamic power. Find the percentage of the total dissipated power comprised by static power for the Pentium 4 Prescott. Round to a whole integer between 0-1

For Pentium 4 Prescott:

% of Static Power = 10

For core i5 Ivy Bridge:

% of Static Power = 43

Given Information:

Static Power of P4 = 10 W

Dynamic Power of P4 = 90 W

Static Power of i5 = 30 W

Dynamic Power of i5 = 40 W

Required Information:

% of static power w.r.t total power dissipation = ?

Explanation:

For Pentium 4 Prescott:

% of static power = static power/total power * 100

% of static power = 10/(10 + 90) * 100

% of static power = 10/(100) * 100

% of static power = 10

For core i5 Ivy Bridge:

% of static power = static power/total power * 100

% of static power = 30/(30 + 40) * 100

% of static power = 30/(70) * 100

% of static power = 43 (rounded to nearest whole integer)

the answer is b

explanation:

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
