And it is even likely that on some (many?) tasks AMD K6 is faster than your 440EP (or my MPC5200B for that matter).

Probably no. AMD K6 III 450 MHz scores 14.7 SpecInt95, 440EP 666 MHz could reach more than 20 SpecInt95.

You can also compare EEMBC benchmarks (see www.eembc.com for more details):
Automotive:
MPC8245 (603e core, 400 MHz) - 33.1
AMD K6-III+ 550/ACR (550 MHz) - 34.2
AMCC PPC440EP (667 MHz) - 60.6
MPC7455 (1GHz) - 122.6

Consumer:
MPC8245 (603e core, 400 MHz) - 264.4
AMD K6-III+ 550/ACR (550 MHz) - 364.2
AMCC PPC440EP (667 MHz) - 575.0
MPC7455 (1GHz) - 889.3

It is funny when Amigas were at 7-50MHz range everybody was shouting that 68k does more per clock than x86...

the truth hurt dosent it..... like salt in a open cut... x86 is what we need to get the dying aos4 on before its to late. ppc have no future anymore to expensiv and to little cpu hores power to do anything serious anymore, ppc is just like a toy nowdays, its the new zx spectrum by todays standards... even apple know that...

ATI Rage 128 has MPEG2 acceleration, maybe that's key...
