Look at the spec numbers? All the spec92 benchmarks I have seen have
the PPC601 very slightly ahead of a same-speed Pentium for integer,
a moderately ahead for FP. With 603e's and 604's extending the lead
still further. Although I too question the above figures - I wouldn't
have thought a mere 601 could make up for the 66MHz vs. 90MHz difference.

btw what speed are 604's available in these days? Unless I'm sorely
mistaken the fastest one would leave the fastest Pentium in the dust..

The 620 is expected to get a 4 what? If that's meant to be a SPEC number
of some sort, your claiming that the 620 runs at about 5% of the speed 
of the previous slowest PowerPC? <amusement>
