- Unfortunately very few people care about per-MHz-comparisons if you can get 486s
- at 2..4 times the clock rate.

- It is not. The Pentium gained more in FP speed than in integer speed compared to
- a 486. A Pentium and a 060 are about same speed at the same clock rate.

-
- And this has already been the problem for 486s.
