Thimet index for 15C LE Message #1 Posted by Jeff Johnson on 21 Dec 2011, 9:42 a.m. Has anyone run the Thimet speed index on the new HP 15C LE? I'm curious as to how it compares to the "100 times faster" metric. The Thimet index should be a little more representative, since it includes some floating point math and transcendental functions. The original 15C clocked in with an index of 2.7, the new 35s with a 9.5, and the 50g with a 260.

That's about 75 times faster than the HP-15C in his table (2.7). That's a double-speed unit, however: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv015.cgi?read=77430 150 appears to be the right factor.
