This being said, speed is one thing but knowing your way is more important.

Again, apples not being compared to apples. But at least the Prime wins hands down here :-)

While we're at apples and peas: The HP 48GX
runs the benchmark in 0.336 seconds (HP-48GX Assembly / Saturn @ 3.7-4.0 MHz)
at a CPU clock of less than 4MHz , whereas the 50g and Prime need a 192+ MHz modern ARM CPU core to reach a similar speed range;-)
