| From PC Magazine, December 8, 1992:
| "The current iCOMP index is made up of four weighted components: 16-bit
| integer (67 percent), 16-bit floating point (3 percent), 32-bit integer
| (25 percent), and 32-bit floating point (5 percent).
My Intel manual doesn't even indicate that 16 bit FP exists, just 32,
64 and 80 bit IEEE temp format. Since all the processors are 32 bit
internal, I'm not sure what any of this means, or why they completely
ignored double precision (64 bit) fp.
I tend to ignore any benchmark without source, this one particularly.
