Yeah, that's one way to look at it and it is kind of neat that it splits the difference but the relative speed difference between 1~4.77mhz 6502s, Z80s and 8086s and the 3mhz Pentium 4s and their contemporaries is way more profound and impressive.

2/3000=0.00066…

0.00066…*2=0.00133…

6+0.00133…=6.00133…

All I can say is I hope we don’t keep the same pace slowing down.

Heh, 3mhz Pentium 4s. They were slow, but they weren't *that* slow.
