- Please don't compare clock speeds between CPU types as an absolute
- indicator of whether one is faster than another. You also have to look at
- what each CPU accomplishes during a clock cycle. This is true even within
- the Intel family. A 25MHz 80486 gets a lot more done in one clock cycle
- than a 25MHz 80386SX, for example. As I understand it, the Falcon runs
- with a Motorola 68030. You can't compare it to a 50MHz Intel chip only by
- clock speed and say anything meaningful.
