The performance of a computer can depend on many things. The main factors are:

• Clock speed
• Type of processor
• Number of cores
• Amount of cache memory
• Amount of RAM

The effects of these different factors can be quite complex, and depend on the type of software being executed. Normally it is better to benchmark a system, that is to measure its performance running various different types of software, rather than try to work out how fast it will be.
