Keywords: Hardware Message-ID: <3399@kalliope.rice.edu> Date: 19 May 89 20:48:05 GMT Sender: usenet@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 10 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 8, Issue 2, message 4 of 9 A number of people here are wondering if the 68881 in a Sun 3/60 can be replaced be a 68882 running at the same clock rate, and if so, how much performance improvement might be gained (I know it depends on the instruction mix - just give me some ideas, okay?). How about increasing the clock rate of the 6888X? David L. Markowitz Rockwell International ...!sun!sunkist!arcturus!dav dav@arcturus.UUCP The above opinions are merely that, and only mine.
