SAMs 440/460

bit late but thanks for starting another thread instead of hi-jacking this one

Are you going to get a SAM460? I'd love to see some tests run on that.

Basically, the 460EX is a 440 core with an FPU that clocks up to 1.15 Ghz. Its one of Applied Micro's nicer processors. While other 460s may support more PCI-e lanes or a slightly higher speed, they don't all have an FPU. It's a definite improvement over the SAM440.

I also like the 464EX based APM82181, lthough it only has 1 PCI-e lane and is slightly slower (1 Ghz).

And the new Packet ProAPM86190 really looks interesting with its 465 core clocked at uo to 1.5 Ghz.

Let us know what you decide and how things work out.

doesnt the 460 also have more cache which is what gives it a vast improvement over the 440?

I'd love to get a Sam460 but I'm so happy with my Samflex440@800 that right now I can't bear to sell it:)...maybe the next Sam board or X1000 might get me to upgrade who knows;)

btw, Hans and other testers have the 460 right now so perhaps they can post some tests here for us all

probably under NDA

IIRC, the RAM and VRAM speed tests have already been posted in this thread. We don't actually have any other benchmark programs that I know of. However, the OGR and RC5-72 dnetc results for a slightly underclocked Sam 460ex were posted over on AW.net here.
