Abstract
Computer capacity was recently suggested as a new theoretical metric for computer performance evaluation. To show the benefits of this approach, we determine the capacities of well-known processors of Intel x86 family and compare the results to the metrics obtained from some available benchmarks. We show that our theoretical evaluation of computer performance conforms well to that given by the benchmarks.
