### Comment:
Instructions per Clock. Think of it maybe like a wheel, where IPC represents the diameter of the wheel, and clock speed represents the revolutions per minute. For the longest time, Intel’s CPUs had big wheels, so it could travel farther than AMD’s in the same time with the same RPM. Now AMD has bigger wheels, and are going farther than Intel at the same RPM

### REPLY:
Good analogy.
