Here is an excerpt from a chart that was sent to me:

Perf. relative to:    A400-100-110     A500-100-140       A500-200-140
<snip>
Series 918                 1.7                      2.5
 4.2
Series 928                 1.2                      1.8
 3.0
<snip>

Then I look on another chart and I see this:

Relative performance to HP perf. unit:    918          928
                                                                  1.3
1.8

So how do I measure the added performance from say a 918 to A400-100-110? Is the
A400  "1.7 HP Perf. Units" better than the 918? Does that mean it is more than
twice as powerful? So then I would calculate about a 130% increase in processing
power.... is this correct? With these new processors it's difficult to
understand what they are trying to tell me (us). Thanks.
