ISP Information:
A rating of how quickly a processor can process instructions. A processor rated at 100 MIPS can process 100,000,000 instructions per second. Although it seems straightforward enough, for an accurate comparison you must define which instruction(s) you are going to run, and a rating such as this could lead processor makers to build chips that have high MIPS ratings but aren't useful in the real world.
