HP-15C CE speed improvement over OG 15C
It's obvious that the 15C CE was going to be a lot faster than the original 15C but I wanted to get an idea of how much faster, so I decided to let them both loose on a problem that should involve quite a bit of number crunching. I settled on the problem entitled "Using the Solver with Simultaneous Equations" om pp168-169 of "Programming Examples and Techniques" for the HP-42S (see https://literature.hpcalc.org/items/934).
My OG HP-15C chewed through it in approx. 1m15s, which I thought was pretty good for a calculator that was never particularly fast in the first place repeatedly solving a 4x4 system of linear equations until the correct value for one of the coefficients is found. The HP-15C CE tore through it in a fraction of a second. Case closed. Current daily drivers: HP-41CL, HP-15C, HP-16C |

My 2022 HP-12C+ does the same thing :-) HP-15C (2234A02xxx), HP-16C (2403A02xxx), HP-15C CE (9CJ323-03xxx), HP-20S (2844A16xxx), HP-12C+ (9CJ251) |

Even my SwissMicros DM15L (also ARM 32-bit emulating NUT code) running at 48 MHz needed about 4 seconds to get the answer (about 18s @ 12 MHz). Current daily drivers: HP-41CL, HP-15C, HP-16C |

The DM15L uses a NXP LPC1115 with has a ARM Cortex M0 core. The HP-15C CE has a Cortex M4. About 4x faster it seems. I was actually looking hard at using a LPC111x in a new design in 2009. In the end I stuck with the Cortex M3 chip I'd already used. A1 HP-15C (2234A02xxx), HP-16C (2403A02xxx), HP-15C CE (9CJ323-03xxx), HP-20S (2844A16xxx), HP-12C+ (9CJ251) |
