Has anyone ever tried running benchmark tests to compare the performance? I HAVE!
I have here an A1200 with an 8MB/FPU card, an A1200 with 32MB/030/FPU, and a CD32 with SX32 and 8MB/FPU. I ran the Doom benchmark test using DoomAttack, which seems to be the best DOOM port for lower-end machines. It needs more than 2MB RAM so I can't test it on an unexpanded CD32.
To run the test yourself, use this command line: DoomAttack -forcedemo -timedemo demo3
Here are the results I got:
A1200 030/50Mhz 32Mb (Optimised 020 C2P) - 8481 realtics (8.8 fps)
Amiga CD32 68020/14Mhz 8Mb (Optimised 020 C2P) - 18971 realtics (3.9 fps)
Amiga CD32 68020/14Mhz 8Mb (Optimised Akiko C2P) - 12872 realtics (5.8 fps)
So there you go, Akiko DOES work.
