On a Dell Axim running at 400 Mhz, it appears to be about 12=15x slower than a P4 1.7 Ghz which runs pretty close to a P3 1.2Ghz. If one assumes for the moment that doubling of speed is worth 50 points (which is high IMO - I think it's closer to 35-40 points at the high end) - then we can work backwards. For simplicity. let's just say an Axim is 16X slower than 1,2 Ghz (it's not - but this make the numbers easier to work with). 16x = 2^4. So we take 50 x 4= 200 points - so in the case PF2 on a Dell Axim running Mobile 2003 is equal to 2570 to SSDF conservatively. This over 200 points higher than any estimate for any program running on the Palm Tungsten and clearly ahead of any dedidicated unit.. This clearly in IM range and maybe even weak GM level. A 206 Mhz ARM would be about 100 points less than this or 2400 SSDF under this scenario. IMO, it is only about 70 points less.
