Recently, I executed a simple OpenCL kernel using PyOpenCL on three different CPUs and was surprised by the results. Contrary to my expectations, the kernel executed significantly faster on a less powerful CPU (i5-135...). This finding raises questions about the impact of processor capabilities on OpenCL kernel execution speed. In this article, I will discuss the details of the benchmark and the factors that might have contributed to this surprising result.

In this tech support article, we explore the impact of mixing different RAM sticks on a benchmarking machine with an Intel i5-10210U CPU. Specifically, we compare the performance of using the original 8GB/2667MHz stick with a cannibalized 16GB/3200MHz stick. The results show that while it's possible to mix RAM sticks of different sizes and speeds, the 'configured speed' is even slower, leading to slower performance in benchmarks.
