I've been involved in performance/capacity since 1981, and I've never seen an MI/SI distinction, before. Are there any web references on this topic. >I'd go on to say that MIP ratings are an approximation at best. I agree. But, there is no such thing as a MIP. It can be one MIPS, or it can be 10,000 MIPS. But, it's still a MIPS. Millions of Instructions Per Second.
