hi,
Bernie has done some work in benchmarking recently...and though some may
go Wow!!! look at that speed, i'd like to point out the PPC benchmarks
which are also included....
notice VERY carefully that that PPC is only a 233MHz model...and this is a
1.3GHz Athlon is up against... consider that some of those operations are
only 50% slower on the PPC and you really have to imagine how screamingly
fast a, say 500MHz, G4 CPU would be in an Amiga.
so, in my opinion, yet another reason to lean towards a next generation
PPC-powered Amiga :-)
yes, yes, some may say 'ah! but that CPU is emulating 68k, what about
native x86? Yes, that would be much faster, but its not applicable when it
comes to AmigaOS...and I might just point out that the PPC in those
benchmarks doesnt have L2 cache and doesnt have decent memory bandwidth
;-)
