>An NX586-P100, for instance, is not a 100MHz processor, but runs at 93MHz. NexGen says it's equivalent to a 100MHz Pentium, which it is, until you factor in floating point. The NexGen chip doesn't have floating point, while the Pentium does.< Forgot about the Nx586. It should be noted that, although the 5x86-P100 was initially the equivalent in integer performance to the 100 MHz Pentium, it was not able to maintain this equivalence as EDO, and later SDRAM became common in Pentium based systems.
