Tea Pot:
What exactly is a BogoMip? In the 18 months that I've been using Linux
(RH6, LM 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2), I've also made some mb/CPU changes, going
from an K6-2 300/FIC VA-503 to an Athlon 800/Abit KT7 with some
intermediate stops. For each combination, of course, Linux reports a
different BogoMip rating. To me, it looks like a BogoMip is twice the
nominal CPU clock speed with a little bit taken out (possibly for sales
tax and shipping?) -- but I expect that the real definition takes into
account processor architecture and other factors.
Hmm, an Intel 8088 gets 0.02 BogoMips (20 BogoKips?), and I'm getting
slightly less than 1600 BogoMips -- 80,000 to 1. Funny, it didn't seem
that slow at the time.
Regards,
Carroll
