Here is a chart comparing ALL Intel processors from the 386sx 16mhz right up to the Pentium III CuMine 1.0ghz! I compiled the chart from several different versions of the Intel iCOMP chart that's been provided on their web site for several years. Some of the figures are approximate as I have had to convert all the speed ratings to the iCOMP 2 scale in order to run the comparison, however I believe the chart is pretty accurate. It's impressive to see there has been over a 600x increase in speed in the last 12 years or so and if I remember correctly the top line chips are much cheaper than they were 12 years ago.
