platform, and DOS only accounts for a measly 11%. Also it was reported that
18.4% of 4 year college students own the Macintosh. 55% of college students own
a computer, and Apple's in the lead for that market too! The reason Apple says

A Tour Of The Pentium Pro Processor Microarchitecture
Number of Words: 2646 / Number of Pages: 10
... - the Pentium Pro
processor moves to a decoupled, 12-stage, superpipelined implementation, trading
less work per pipestage for more stages. The Pentium Pro processor reduced its
pipestage time by 33 percent, compared with a Pentium processor, which means the
Pentium Pro processor can have a 33% higher clock speed than a Pentium processor
and still be equally easy to produce from a semiconductor manufacturing process
(i.e., transistor speed) perspective.
The Pentium processor's superscalar microarchitecture, with its ability to
execute two instructions per clock, would be difficult to exceed wit ...
