- A German PC mag recently ran some benchmarks on these systems, both
- integer and floating point arithmetics.
- The result (1.00 is the reference set by a Dell Pentium 90):
-
- 68040-25 0.25-0.35
- 68060-50 0.45-0.55
- PPC604-132 2.70-2.90
- PentiumPro-150 1.70-1.90
- (if I remember correctly)
-
- So the PPC outperforms the 060 by a factor of 5-6.
- This, however, includes the difference in clock speed.
- But since there neither is a 132 Mhz 060 nor a 50 MHz PPC604,
- you cannot compare them at the same clock speed anyway.
-
- But I do not know whether they used native code on the PPC
- (the results suggest it, however).
