Meanwhile, ISC Managementnewsletter has produced a table that compares the integer performance of various processors against the clock speed at which they are driven. It notes that if Intel Corp were able to come up with a way to drive 3.8m transistors without frying the chip to a frazzle, Pentium would look pretty good.
