It at least gives the VUPS rating on several processors, to you can get a rough idea of the MIPS* on em... * MIPS :== Meaningless Indication of Processor Speed -- Lee Havemann, Comp Ops Dir.

The PDP-11/94 features a new, performance-enhanced processor that combines the DCJ11/FPJ11 chip sets with 2 Mbyte or 4 Mbyte of high-speed onboard memory, eight buffered, programmable asynchronous serial lines and a time of year clock. The single-board implementation of the processor effectively complements the configuration flexibility and expansion capacity of enhanced UNIBUS systems packaging. The PDP-11/94 architectural compatibility with Digital's entire portfolio of PDP-11 systems and application software, along a wide array of UNIBUS system options, reflects Digital's continued commitment to installed-base PDP-11 customers. The PDP-11/94 design provides a unique opportunity for PDP-11/84 users to upgrade their systems with the enhanced processing power of the PDP-11/94. The PDP-11/94 effectively leverages all the advantages of current technology, a proven architecture, and more than a decade of system engineering enhancements to provide the most powerful, yet cost-effective UNIBUS PDP-11 systems ever designed.
