the power PC is MUCH faster than the PEntium for floating-point. The Pentium performance on FPT is, for the first time in an Intel chip, within hailing range of reasonable RISC performance, but still not great! FOr integer arithmetic, to a first degree of approximation, these chips are clock speed for clock speed comparable. The disastrous lack of registers on the Pentium can make quite a difference in some cases, even in integer calculatoins, however.
