No, the hertz is not the main measurement unit. It is the MIPS that stands for “Million Instructions Per Second” and which is used to test or recognize the computing performance of a given microprocessor. In fact the microprocessor performance is measured by the number of MIPS leveraged in a determined period. To get the information about the performance a set of “bench mark” are usually used. They are programs specially used to provide such measurements. What does Microsoft do within this domain? Up to now, Microsoft offer was made up of 4 solutions chosen according to architecture and the required functionalities: Windows Embedded Standard is intended for the embedded systems of x86 architecture. It is a modular version of Windows XP. It provides the full Win32 API for x86 processors. The system can be configured to install only the necessary components just the minimal size for a functional system. It constitutes a solution for profiting of the last technological evolvements particu
