Help anyone...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND MIPS. 

CSA advertises an expansion box that includes a 14 MHz 68020/6881 combination
and claims a 1 Mip rating.  I read yesterday in ELECTRONIC ENGEERING TIMES
that the new MAC is rated at 2 Mips with a 16 MHz 68020/6881 combination.

10 % increase in cpu speed can't give a doubling in MIPS can it?  Where did I
lose it?

I am NOT interested in a Mac vs Amiga war, only an understanding on MIP rating.

Thanks all,

Aubrey Sparkman
