runs the benchmark in 0.336 seconds (HP-48GX Assembly / Saturn @ 3.7-4.0 MHz)
at a CPU clock of less than 4MHz , whereas the 50g and Prime need a 192+ MHz modern ARM CPU core to reach a similar speed range;-)

0.000150 HP-50G Assembly / ARM9 @ 192 MHz / Fast Mode x2.7

That's 2000+ times faster, whereas the CPU clock speed is only 50x faster. Obviously, the newer 32 bit ARM processor surpasses the venerable Saturn architecture.

Agreed. Didn't notice the 50g assembly version.

(However at least I made the fastest 48G version;-)
