1260's are great chip BUT they are very limited by the speed of the bus and the 1200's CHIPRAM so you don't get the kind of speed boost that the MIPS benchmarks suggest you will for most apps/games.
Life begins at 100 MIPS!


Nice Ports on AmiNet!

Sysinfo shows a lowly old-fashioned 68040 getting almost 400% the speed of a 68030.  It doesn't take a genius to figure out that 68060=500%.
Wanna try a wonderfull strategy game with lots of handdrawn anims,
Magic Spells and Monsters, Incredible playability and lastability,
English speech, etc. Total Chaos AGA

Very nice, but with my B1260 and Sysinfo I've got the red bar at top right with a + over it :). And with Sysspeed I've got Mips: 105,70; Mflops: 42,17.
A1200, Lateral 32GB CF, internal Dvd, ACA 1230/56 with an MKII Fast ATA at 9,5Mb/s, another A1200 BPPC project in progress (more or less), and posting from my own/better C64x in my Tv using Hdmi.

Pointless unless you know of a program that executes instruction that solely affect the CPU and as in the example above do nothing but floating number calculations.

Now we're at 3000x and counting. I'm not even getting baited into further discussions along these lines.

What's it do for the average Amiga software package?


Well Vista Pro and Lightwave sure as hell run better than the rubbish 030 of any speed description. The 030 is a terrible CPU, not worth the extra expense over an 020. Simple as that.

Games rarely improve (which is why PC won and Amiga lost in the days of AGA) and without a Bvision card on an accelerator like the PPC A1200 ones don't expect Workbench based stuff to go faster :)
