The development of radiophysical research systems, for example, in the field of radio astronomy, requires significant technical resources, including the computing power of processors used in equipment for processing the spectra of the studied signals. The use of electronic computing machines to solve this problem, in turn, forces us to consider their energy and computing capacities. Energy harvesting devices used for local power supply of radiophysical systems have capacity limitations, which imposes limitations on computing power. Accordingly, studying the parameters of the central processor, including performance, is a relevant task. This article analyzes the processor speed based on various characteristics, such as clock speed, number of cores, cache memory and others. The possibilities for determining the optimal parameters to achieve maximum processor performance when performing various tasks are shown. A method of comparative analysis of processors from different manufacturers and models using specialized software is proposed. The results obtained in the work will further allow us to determine the most effective approaches to improve the performance of computer systems.
