Processor A runs at $3$ GHz with a CPI of $1.5$. Processor B runs at $4$ GHz with a CPI of $1.2$. A program P , when compiled for Processor A , has $1 \times 10^9$ instructions. An optimizing compiler for Processor $B$ reduces the instruction count for the same program to $0.75 \times 10^9$ instructions. What is the speedup of Processor B over Processor A for this program?

  1. $1.85$
     
  2. $2.00$
     
  3. $2.22$
     
  4. $2.50$
