In particular, many major flaws in the Byte "benchmark" of the 80386 versus the 68030 were dissected there in detail. There's really no need to rehash this topic in newsgroups where more heat and less light are likely to prevail. -- Howard A.

Does anybody have any references describing the internal processor architecture of any common microprocessors? If so, I'd appreciate some pointers to references. Thanks. --- Subash Shankar Honeywell Systems & Research Center voice: (612) 782 7558 US Snail: 3660 Technology Dr., Minneapolis, MN 55418 shankar@src.honeywell.com srcsip!shankar
