Well, if clock speed is all that counts, you are right. But a P6 still
can't do floating-point matrix algebra in parallel pipeline, so the
comparison is somewhat useless.
Anyone want to figure out whether you can speed up Doom on a Cray by
doing all the perspective transformations in one large matrix operation?
It would sure be fun to have a Cray II port. Maybe then I could finally
make good use of our "supercomputing" resources. :)
