"TI's OMAP 1510, for example, integrates its DSP (digital signal processor)
running at 200MHz, with the ARM core, running at 175MHz. According to Bork, a
DSP executes almost twice as many instructions in one cycle as an application
processor giving its dual-core solution, 400 MIPs for the DSP plus 175 MIPs for
the ARM, for a total of 575 MIPS.

Peter Green, general manager of Intel's handheld computing division, said that
due to changes in the architecture, the 400MHz XScale will give users 480 MIPS,
1.2 MIPS per megahertz


Since the actual processor is 175 mips, I don't think you can compare it to the
XScale. The DSP is for specialized audio or video coding, so you especially
can't add the 2 for performance. My personal oppinion is that this
device is NOT faster than a Pentium 90 Mhz.
