I'm not sure what a MIP is, but assuming your talking about MIPS, the
"standard MIPS" is a generally considered to be a VAX 11/780.  The
MicroVAX II runs some benchmarks at about 0.9 MIPS, and is the standard for
VUPS, hence the broad generalization that 1.0 VUPS = 0.9 MIPS.

The KL10 was available three years earlier than the VAX 11/780, and
typically benchmarks at more than twice the speed.
