Can you posts some benchmarks.
I would like to compare it to my 486 and 5x86 computers.

Speedsys

Drystone
Graphics benchmarks too.

Thanks.

Yeah, but I want to compare with his specific build since he calls it a “486 killer”.
I think the only CPU that killed off the 486 was the Pentium.

yes those were captured on this system

It was just a hyperbole. In reality the performance of NexGen P90 is sometimes inferior even to 486DX4-100 in some benchmarks. Especially graphics tests in DOS.
