Speed Test: TI-83 Plus Silver Edition vs. TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition

Speed Test:  TI-83 Plus Silver Edition vs. TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition

This video shows a test of speed between the TI-83 Plus SE and the TI-84 Plus C SE.  They both have a Zilog z80 process which runs up to 15 MHz.  The four tests are:

1.  Graphing y = sin(e^x)

2.  Use a For loop to count to 1,000

3.  Take an inverse of a 10 x 10 matrix of random integers

4.  Solve an equation

The results may be surprising.
