And the Samuel2 is definitely not an Ezra. Thanks for the clarification. I'm almost sure that there was something with "ezra" printed right on the cpu, but I can't remember for sure; so maybe you're right with the assumption that it's in fact a Samuel2. > FWIW, the best way I've seen to figure out which chip you're using (at least > between Ezra/Ezra-T and Nehemiah) is to look at the clocking -- Ezra/Ezra-T > seems to be 100*10.0, whereas Nehemiah seems to be 133*7.5. Back to the performance-discussion between cputype 586/mmx and k6-3 optimization: do you have a suggestion how to benchmark it? cu Gerrit --
