But this statement: S3 : Programs executing on M-2 will always run faster than programs executing on M-1. Should be false. Because we cannot guarantee faster execution "always". Right @joshi_nitish? 1 votes 1 votes Registered user 48 commented Nov 24, 2018 reply Follow Share Yes, for single instruction it will be false! 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
