I doubt it too, there was a demo of the TT here by an ATARI club, the
representative said the TT 68030 was equal to a 386-20 machine and only
2 MIPS, I found this hard to believe since there was so much talk of it,
I still think it does close to 8MIPS, but since there is so much people
disagreeing with the performance of the TT, I don't know what the real
MIPS on it.  Also does anyone know how many MFLOPS the TT does?  Like I
said the TT is not equivalent to the i486 and probably not the new 386-40.
The 386-33 is running 7.92 MIPS and the i486-25 is 11.1 MIPS.
THIS IS NOT A FLAME (I am a ATARIAN and probably always will be)
