G'Day Bill,

On 13/12/96, Bill Grimsley said to Jason Meaden the following :

 JM>>> IMHO you get much better performance from a genuine Pentium.

 PE>> The Cyrix 100 is rated at P120+.  Are you talking about 
 PE>> benchmark performance or are you talking about the specific 
 PE>> Voice application?

 JM>> I mean the VoiceType Dictation application.  I haven't seen 
 JM>> benchmarks, only people who have gone from non-Intel to 
 JM>> Intel and noticed remarkable differences.

 BG> Does the above app (or any other part of Warp 4.0) make use of the
 BG> processor's FPU?  If so, that would explain the difference. 
 BG> Otherwise, I can't see why.

I have no idea what part of the CPU it takes specific advatage of, if any. 
I didn't write it.  I am only a humble man who's occupation gives him
exposure to these things  :-)

Regards,


       Jason Meaden.
