Most of that is information I already have. I was wondering more about
the 21264's actual speed... the only response to that I've ever received
was 2 BIPS, 1.4MFLOPS... I'm not sure if this is correct or not.
Apparently the FPU is much improved over the 21164, which was somewhat
lacking compared to other processors. While some I've talked to said FP
performace is inherently poor in RISCs, I've heard others say the 21264's
FPU is the best on the planet. Do you have any information on this?
Best regards,
