<You might want to look up the definition of "superscalar". There appear to be some fine subtleties of "instruction level parallelism" which have escaped you.> Oh, whoops. I thought you meant multiprocessing, not superscalar. In any case, we've been through this before. Saying that a Cyrix MII is faster than a Pentium II ignores the fact that the MII was designed from the start to run at slower speeds and squeeze the most amount of work out of every precious clock.
