MIPs/sec ???
Weeeell... Two errors in one statement
1. MIPS - this is singular! It is Million Instructions Per Second.
So MIPS is NOT plural of MIP.
2. MIPS is already "per second", so MIPS/second means some CPU power
acceleration...
Regarding the speed on Core i7 - that's the proof why "meaningless
indicator (of) processor speed" is better explanation of MIPS,
especially when comparing differerent processor (and computer)
architectures. It more than 3 times more than the largest z196 (M80)
configuration. Even the most anti-mainframe bigots do not claim that
single i7 is faster than 240 mainframe CPs.
