[comp.arch] 68040 Status - SPEC table with missing line added

mslater@cup.portal.com (Michael Z Slater) (03/05/91)

As several observant net readers have pointed out, my table of SPEC
results inadvertently deleted the "eqntott" line. The means shown did
include all 10 benchmarks. Here is the corrected table:

SPEC benchmark results for CISC and RISC systems at 25 MHz (except 
i860 at 33 MHz). All results as published by SPEC, except for 486 and 
860 results published by Intel and 68040 results provided by HP. The 
systems are the HP 425t, HP 425s, an unspecified 486 system, Sun 
SPARCstation 330, MIPS RC3240, Motorola 8864SP, IBM RS/6000 Model 530, 
and an 860 PC add-in board with static column DRAM. Cache sizes shown 
are external (second-level) caches only, except for RS/6000. MIPS and 
88K caches are 64K instruction and 64K data.

Impressive collection of benchmarks!

Q: Did the i486 use a compiler which generates 32 bit code, 
   or was one of the more common 16-bit compilers used?

Q: Also, what CPU "mode" was used on the i486?  
   (Real?  Protected?  V8086?)
