I remember the few weeks in 1996 when the 200 MHz Pentium Pro (P6) was truly the world's faster processor beating the then Alpha 21164 (?) for INT and FP. Of course, DEC came up with a faster processor a few weeks afterwards to reclaim the crown.

I remember that too. In fact I was sitting next to the product engineering team when they got their first silicon, but it was only tops in INT, not FP.
