Recently, I have had some free time and started learning some low-level computer fundamentals, trying to practice and better understand the concepts in greater detail. Both processes produce the same 100K products Both use identical logic and calculations Both access the same amount of memory The only difference is data ordering We just need to plug these numbers into the formula and see how much time it theoretically takes a regular computer to process 100K products with the branch prediction success rate of 95%:
