Maverick - Re: " A PR300 Cyrix chip, therefore, should offer roughly the application performance of a 300MHz Intel processor, much faster than its CPU performance in MIPS shows. " Let's see now. The Cyirx MII-300 , a PR300 rating, has a performance of 80% of a Genuine Intel Pentium II. That should compute to a PR = 0.80*300 = 240, or a PR240. The MII-300 runs at 233 Mhz, approximately 240 Mhz. So whi is Cyrix trying to bamboozle? A Cyrix MII-300, with a PR 300 rating, runs at 233 MHz with 240 MHz performance! No wonder Cyrix is killing Intel! Thanks for the article! Paul
