@Moderator

Can you move to hardware section pls?

@poweramiga2002
There are lots of online chip to chip comparisons for the PPC
comparing family increment to family increment.
Hate figure. :lol:

@Piru

Read it properly please. I **said** that you can just go and compare the chips ratings for an idea. The figures are out of specbenches hat, not mine.

Hate figure. :lol:

1. Answered you question about where the figures were sourced from. The reason I put both SPEC *marks* in there is because that is as good as it gets for something as ancient as a 603 - people are not running 2000 against such old kit in lab conditions anymore. That is the point. Why did you think I kept what the source marks were in the post? I had assumed someone would ask the intelligent question "how do you compare them" but then if they are intelligent enough to ask that question they are intelligent enough to go find out precisely what they said above.

2. Ballpark figures are all that is required. In fact if you followed my advice and went to the spec site you would see exactly what the kit was. ;-)

The point being, dear Piru, that you cannot compare apples with apple strudel! The point being what exactly I think you were about to start berating me for! :-)

Now we could turn this into a navel gazing exercise but you know and I know that benchmarks are useless for anything other than ball park estimates and USENET rows with Steve G.

Next time I wont keep the unstated sarcasm out of my posts. Maybe then you will get what I was going on about with the apples ( 95 ) and oranges ( 2000 ) comparison and the "as good as it gets".
Hate figure. :lol:

@Piru

Thats why I added the pretty chart link because I realised it wasn't clear. Clearly even that was insufficiently clear.

I didn't mean to get personal, reading back through what I wrote does sound more aggressive than intent - trying to knock off a post like that just before a rushing off to a meeting - repent at leisure they say!
Hate figure. :lol:

How does the MAI bug affect the results here?


It doesnt.

Firstly because the Articia-S "bug" is "fixed" in all production available boards ( or worked around )  

Secondly the measurements are mostly done in volatile parts of the system ( allthough spec-appserver intends to incorporate more persistence in the factor ).

Finally it does not effect any of the results I have posted because none of them are "MAI bug" based hardware results ( e.g. not Pegasos, Teron CX, PX etc. ).

How about something REALLY lame like say
600/4=200 therefore it is 6 times the speed. Seems to work for PC World salesmen.
