Does anybody have some benchmark results for the i960CA, especially as
compared to other processors? I would be very interested in the integer
SPECmarks (as the CA does not have an FPU), the Dhrystone rating,
Hennessy-Benchmark results or similar stuff.

Moreover, does anybody know how well the i960CA puts its multiple
execution units into use? Is the Intel rating of 66 MIPS at 33 MHz 
realistic for non-toy programs?

Thanks for any results or pointers!
