From PowerPC News (*** July 3rd, 1995: Vol. 2, No.33***)

You want more emulation news? OK IBM reckons that high-end 604s

speed as a 486DX 33MHz - 66MHz under the emulation in Warp Connect
PowerPC edition.

So IBM would have made such a statement. (about Warp Connect emulation,
not SoftWindows one..)
