I see that they say that their 200MHz almost 1 cycle per instruction
with hardware IEEE floating point support runs almost 3x faster than
a standard 8051 computing a mandelbrot pattern. Am I missing
something, or is this just slightly short of pathetic ? Just based on
the clock frequency and less clock cycles per machine cycle, their
8051 should be close to 150x faster.

Given that they also say "up to 100 MFlops", I suspect they're comparing
with/without the hardware IEEE on the same "standard" 8051 at the same
clock speed. Although even then, I think I'd expect slightly better...

I'm guessing, though.
