Smart Computing Article - New CPU
image-editing software moves at a snail's pace, adding more system memory usually increases performance more than upgrading the CPU. If games look like a slide show and have grainy, fuzzy graphics, popping a new 3-D video accelerator card into your system may have more impact than any processor upgrade

More Than Just CPU Performance-Criteria for Choosing an x86-based Embedded Computer (.pdf)
When in the market for an x86-based embedded computer, most system engineers only take hardware requirements such as CPU performance into consideration. Unlike RISC-based computers, which are designed for specific industrial applications and minimize power consumption, x86-based computers are often

Myths & Realities of Real-Time Linux Software Systems
Pathfinder was caused by an unbounded priority inversion [5]. Example: Suppose your car (a low priority task) enters a busy traffic intersection (CPU of the system) and you guess that you might be able to cross the intersection (use the CPU to process), but then you realize that all of the traffic
