Distribution: usa Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana Lines: 5 The 486 at the same CLOCK is NOT as fast as the 040 at the same clock speed. The '040 also has much better floating point unit. Now the DX2-66 is faster than the '040 at 33Mhz. But for your reference the 486 at 33 mhz gets ~14MIPS while the '040 at 33mhz gets ~20MIPS.
