The R4000 based Indigo runs faster than a Pentium, which goes at
around 110 mips. The R3000, the forerunner of the R4000, gave a 96
mips system performance. The R4400 is a clock doubled R4000 with a
bigger cache. Four running in parallel deliver a 600 mips system
performance. A RISC chip will always outperform a CISC chip.
BTW, the Indy runs an R4000. Only if you buy an Indigo2 Extreme do
you get the R4400, or if you buy an Onyx, that is if you got an extra
$250,000 to spare.
My 486 has a rating of 54 mips, while I'd guess an 040 running at
40mhz would be somewhere around 45.
