- Fact is that on MIPS the PPC 604e kicks Pentium 200%, the 604 equals it
- and the 603 and 602 are plainly 'Low-Budget' versions of the chip.
- Seen to the fact Amiga requires nearly nothing to multitask and perform
- superb gfx/sfx this might blow yar head off.
-
- Fact is that the 68060 is 25% faster on Raw processing power than a
- Pentium. Quite more faster thanx to inventive hardware circuitry design
- during rendering: software works faster on Motorola's too. What ya want
- more?
