Specint 2000 results:

P3-700    =  310
8x P3-700 = 2480

10 years ago:

486-33    =    5  (released may of 1990)

5 years ago:

P-90      =   25

8x-700 is 2480/5= 496 times as fast as the 486-33 of 10 years ago.
8x-700 is 2480/25= 99 times as fast as the P90 of 5 years ago.

Yes, did you actually do the math?
