Recently, at the request of someone, I posted a brief summary of the 32000 family lineup. I included some rough MIP ratings. Needless to say, this stirred up a debate. Furthermore, I personally haven't run ant of the benchmarks, so I can't testify to their veracity. In general, the 32332 at 15 mhz is considered a 2 MIP processor. One reason why this number is sometimes challenged is that it will vary if you are using one of our older compilers. You should be using our CTP compiler. This is a relatively recent release. It is good for a solid 20% or more in performance. If there is general interest I will try to round up some data on 332 and 532 and publish it. Regards, George
