Performance Rating

Figure of merit developed by AMD, Cyrix, IBM Microelectronics and SGS-Thomson

The idea was to consider instructions per cycle (IPC) in addition to the clock speed, so that the processors become comparable with Intel's Pentium that had a higher clock speed with overall lower IPC.
