I'm getting 800 on a 400Mhz AMD-K6. Bogomips is a bogus (hence the name) measurement of cpu speed used for delay loops. It doesnt compare across different cpu vendors/types. Stream_d: reports Function Rate (MB/s) RMS time Min time Max time Copy: 381.4066 0.0429 0.0419 0.0436 Scale: 374.4007 0.0440 0.0427 0.0451 Add: 446.4620 0.0576 0.0538 0.0671 Triad: 429.5528 0.0571 0.0559 0.0584 I think cpu review has a whole pile of comparative benches. ===
