HP Prime Speed Tests

I recently received two of the latest model HP Prime calculators in the mail. I'm going to give my old models to the grandkids soon, but I still have them as yet.

Task: A run of my MOID program to find the minimum orbit intercept distance between New Horizons and the Kuiper Belt Object MU69.

HP Prime G1 (G8X92AA, version C): 23.4 seconds
HP Prime G2 (2AP18AA, version D): 8.4 seconds

The G2 is 2.8 times faster than the G1.

Benchmark tests by other people have indicated that the G2 is anywhere from 2.9 to 3.1 times faster than the G1.
