Re: bogomips/speed ratio and Power PC chip
There would appear to be something quite astray here...
If you look at the bogomip howto
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/BogoMips-3.html#ss3.13
you will notice that the bogomip relationship with processors is in step,
ie faster processors = more bogomips ;)
The howto lists a g4/999 @ 1992 bogomips
Yet within this thread I have not seen anyone reporting anything
approaching this sort of rating.
