Abstract

We suggest a concept of processor capacity and entropy efficiency, which give a possibility to compare processors with different sets of instructions, different kinds of memory and different numbers of cores. A simple method of estimation of the processor capacity is presented. The suggested methods can be generalized to devices similar to computer processors (like processors of mobile telephones, etc.)
