I had waited more than a year for someone to come forward with a NexGen system to contribute to the Ultimate 686 Benchmark Comparison. Nobody came through.
I do plan on redoing the "486" benchmark comparison, which will include additional benchmarks, and CPUs down to the PGA-132 socket (386). This will allow for the integration of 386-to-486 upgrade chips. It would also be interesting to test some of socket 3 chips on 386 boards using those open socket 386-to-486 interposers. I will need to find a 386 board which works well with these and allows for working cache. Anyway, I was going to take the benchmarks up to the P54C-100. Does your NexGen system have a PCI slot and would you be willing to contribute when the time comes? Even better if you have a system with FPU.
Plan your life wisely, you'll be dead before you know it.
