In 1980, the Z-80 and 6502 were state-of-the-art CPUs in PC's of the time. I think these machines could probably manage .1 MIPS. Today, the state-of-the-art CPU is the '386, the '486, and the 68030. All these devices are 2-4 MIPS, about 20-40 times faster. I conclude that everyone will have an R6000 (or better) in the (affordable) PC of the year 2000. This seems like a long time.
