I would like to point out my highlight above - Motorola claims it is
the hottest Microprocessor.  Obviously, the Vax 8000 series are not
in this category.  Additionally, the Clipper is a board (with multiple
chips) device.  I think the same is true for the Mips machines.  One
should also remove the FP's when only comparing the CPU's.  C'mon,
let's compare these things fairly.
