... My boss didn't seem to think I had a need to know even though I was doing monthly MIPS reports so finding a free chart was very helpful.
I used the charts to verify figures that I was passed by a coworker. ... Verifying meaningless figures, eh? That's an interesting task. As Phil says in his disclaimer, the MIPS are subject to the same rigour as the ones who charge you for them (nada). There are many articles out there (including one I wrote) as to why MIPS means: Misleading Indicator of Processor Speed. Management's Impression of Processor Speed. Marketting Implication of Processor Speed. There are way too many factors for one number to fit all.
