- facts are facts. The i860 is the fastest processor out there. They list
- full assembly source for all their most acclaimed benchamrks with this chip
- (FFT, shading, zbuffer assist, etc.) Joe Programmer can type in the assembly
- and run it timing it with wallclock seconds. The intel i860 is GODAMN FAST
- and if had faster interrupt latency, and a superb optimizing C compiler,
- would put all doubters in their place. At a given cycle, the integer unit,
- the floating point adder pipeline, and the floatingpoint multiply
- pipeline, can each complete one instruction. At 40 Mhz, you begin to see
- that a claim of 40 Mips is MORE THAN FUCKING HONEST, and that a claim of
- 80Mflops IS ALSO NO LIE!!!!!!

- Can't you guys accept reality?
