MorphOS on Power Mac G5

[DaNi]

I have a power mac g5 1.8ghz (clocked to 2ghz) single core (no dual core), 900mhz bus and i play it without problems 1080p running mac os x leopard ppc.

I don't know. My slowest X86 PC is a dual core with a standard clock of 2.6Mhz running at 3.0.
The fastest G5 runs at 2.7 (and while there are dual and quad machines, MorphOS can only use one core).
For tasks that aren't heavily threaded and when not running a lot of concurrent apps, the G5 could potentially match the performance of the X86s.
It would definitely outperform most Intel Atom systems.

Flash...I was wondering if I was the only one who missed that (instead of just attacking it). Well, I can't get that (or a least a good variation of that) under PPC Linux either.

Is not only Ghz, G5 have a lot of power, more than any high-end pentium 4 or dual pentiums for example the parallel data structure supporting up to 216 simultaneous in-flight instructions, simultaneous issue of up to 10 out-of-order operations. It likewise has a dual-pipeline Velocity Engine for 128-bit single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) processing, two independent double-precision floating-point units and advanced three-stage branch-prediction logic.

Mips test:
Pentium 4 HT 631 Cedarmill 4Ghz (overclocked) FSB=1066Mhz 10.050 mips (faster than more intel dual cores)
Power PC G5 970FX 1.8Ghz FSB=1000Mhz 7.500 mips
Power PC G5 970MP Dual 2,5Ghz FSB=1350Mhz 15.400 mips

Of course, but given that most people here also seem to have x86 boxes too:



Perhaps it's just me, but I can't imagine myself sitting there thinking:

"I need to run blender. My time is important! I have a stinky quad core PC already with free OS and blender available, but what I really need is to run it on a considerably slower G5 and buy an OS to run on it so that I can wait several times longer for it to render my stuff!"

Perhaps is my only system was a G4 box, I might think:

"I need to run blender. My time is important! It's not so fast on this G4, a G5 would be nice."

But I'm much more likely to think

"I need to run blender. My time is important! It's not so fast on this G4, what's the cheapest and best performing kit I can get to do it?"

I downloaded blender for OS4, it works and is fine, but if I needed to render seriously, my PC is far, far faster. SSE3 optimised and blender can use all four cores. I'd have to have real issues to choose the former in preference to the latter if it was something I wanted to do seriously.

G5 on morphos is perfect and the fastest "amiga" never see, you can launch a amiga program, like lightwave 3d, aladdin, art effect etc at the speed of 75% of ppc cpu using jit trance... this is a lot and a lots of mips, 1.8ghz give more than 5.000 mips for amiga native 68k aplications, warpos/powerup and morphos more than 7.000 mips, i think morphos can boot on a micro sencond and with very little memory usage windows is slow loading system, loading, loading loading... and consumes a lot of ram, morphos is ultra fast and mega-optimized, and of course, amiga compatible.
