- ; V20TIMER.ASM
- ;
- ; Adapted from "ptimer.asm/cpu.com"
- ;
- ; Modified 851028 by COMPUQUEST Inc. to show full, accurate clock speed.
- ;
- ;
- ; This timing loop is constructed to take exactly 10.0 seconds to
- ; execute when run on a standard pc/compatible using the 8088 micro
- ; and the standard clock speed of 4.77 Mhz.
- ;
- ; The speed gain achieved by using the NEC V20, as can be seen, is
- ; almost 300%. It should be noted that the V20 gets its advantage
- ; mainly from its ability to execute instructions in a fraction of
- ; the normal bus-cycle time taken to do the same instruction with
- ; an 8088. Therefore, this timing test shows a greater improvement
- ; than you would see with normal PC use.
- ;
- ; Still... a V20 in your PC will make a BIG DIFFERENCE in speed for
- ; things like spreadsheet recalcs, assemblies, compiles, and other
- ; tasks where alot of memory moves, calculation instructions etc. are
- ; going on.
- ;
- ; As a good example, that %$*@$ wait needed to run the Memory Check
- ; when you boot a PC will take only about 1/4 the time !!
