    Which measurement best reflects overall system performance for a mixed workload?

    ক)
    Single microbenchmark score
    খ)
    Clock frequency only
    গ)
    Geometric mean of relevant benchmarks
    ঘ)
    Fan RPM

    Explanation

    Because speedups multiply, the geometric mean summarizes relative performance fairly across programs. Clock speed alone ignores IPC and memory stalls. Microbenchmarks can mislead; choose a representative suite. Always match metrics to your target workload.
