For those who keep pointing at the higher ratings for Intel
chips on the Dhrystone compared to the 32k ratings, I challenge you
to do any benchmark using arrays, looping, etc. with a number greater
than 64k. Once you hit that magic number, the segmentation of the
Intel chips comes into play and down goes the speed. Try doing the
Sieve of Eratosthenes (sp?) with the number of primes being 80,000.
Then let's talk about their speed versus the 32k.
Also, remember that one benchmark means nothing. Why use a Cray
for Lotus 1-2-3 instead of a PC?
