The following article was recently posted to comp.sys.sun.hardware and
gives a projected SPECMARK for the T9000 of 70:

Subject: Article on 3rd Gen RISCS.

 Some have been talking about the viking chipset.

 Well I just got my copy of EDN magazine.
 Has some article on Riscs. The usual tripe
 The following is a VERY shortened table of
 comparision.

 I believe the TI chip below is the Viking
 (OF COURSE I COULD BE WRONG)

 could someone confirm this.

  Device                   CPU speed     SPECmarks
 Intel i960               16-25-32-40Mhz   30 (40Mhz)
 MIPS R4000SC             50Mhz (100Mhz*)  70
 IBM RS/6000              33Mhz            25.9
 NS 32SF641               33-40-50Mhz      100 native MIPS
 Intergraph C400          50Mhz            42
 Digital Alpha            200Mhz           100
 Motorola 88110           50Mhz            63.7
 Intel i860               25-40-50Mhz      42 (50Mhz)
 SGS Thomson T9000 (trans) 50Mhz           70
 Texas Inst. Super SPARC  50Mhz (100Mhz*)  75

 *   Means some internal Frequency doubler lets the chip
     run internally at 100Mhz. OR the various elements
     work on opposite phases of the clock.
