-
- Difficult to say. There are many factors that influence speed like
- the bus clock, cache type and size and memory speed.
-
- Assuming a "reasonable" environment a Pentium is about twice as fast
- for integer code and 3-4 times as fast on floating point. But as I
- said, there are too many variations of PC motherboards to make an
- easy comparison.
