Further to lunaslide's messages here is an excerpt from my SuSE v6.0 mini
BogoMips howto:--
>From a initiative by Ian Jackson, [EMAIL PROTECTED], and Przemek
Klosowski, much updated and expanded by Wim van Dorst for current
data, as listed below:
As a very approximate guide, the BogoMips can be calculated by:
System BogoMips Comparison
Intel 8088 clock * (0.004 plusminus 0.001) 0.02
Intel/AMD 386SX clock * (0.14 plusminus 0.01) 0.8
Intel/AMD 386DX clock * (0.18 plusminus 0.01) 1
(definition)
Motorola 68030 clock * (0.25 plusminus 0.005) 1.4
Cyrix/IBM 486 clock * (0.34 plusminus 0.065) 1.8
Intel Pentium clock * (0.40 plusminus 0.035) 2.2
Intel 486/AMD 5x86 clock * (0.50 plusminus 0.01) 2.8
Mips R4000/R4400 clock * (0.50 plusminus 0.015) 2.3
Nexgen Nx586 clock * (0.75 plusminus 0.010) 4.2
PowerPC 601 clock * (0.84 plusminus 0.015) 4.7
Alpha (all CPUs) clock * (0.99 plusminus 0.005) 5.5
Intel Pentium Pro clock * (0.99 plusminus 0.005) 5.5
Cyrix 5x86/6x86 clock * (1.00 plusminus 0.005) 5.6
etc. etc.
My Intel Pentium 100 clocks at 35.84 BogoMips, i.e. 100 * (0.4 +- .035)
This value, BogoMips, (or 'Bogus Million instruction per second' rating),
is only used as a timing loop for programs that need accurate timing for
which the clock runs too quickly.
