In the benchmarking publication by AIM for testing speed/prices of unix
boxes, it shows that for machines that cost over 50,000 dollars and up to
2,000,000 dollars (including EVERY point in between those two prices)...

The fastest machines, per dollar of money spent, all had groups of
Motorola 88100's in them. You heard me the Motorola chip. Not Alphas, Not
HPA, not MIPS R4000, not 68040s, not INTEL chips, nor AMD or any other
company including any machines based on the SPARC, nor even the Intel i860.

THE FASTESTS MACHINES IN THE WORLD FROM 50,000 to 2,000,000 HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN MOTOROLA 88100 FITTED MACHINES!


This is of course, based on a publication that only includes listings of
benchmarks by companies that pay to get benchmarked, and may not include
all technologies.

It was a recent issue.


Long live the 88100.... Wicked Fast.
