My phase5 1260/50 is too slow?

Here's another location:

DCE seem to have removed their Amiga files, we've been abandoned!
Really this should be uploaded to Aminet...

I think the latest version is 46.7 distribution and it works with
PowerPC's 68k side.

Beware though that the documentation advises not to use 3rd party
maths libraries like mathieedoutrans or whatever they're called as
they mess with the Phase5 code.

I think it's only the 68060.library, the '040 dummy and '040 new have
been updated. The Cyberpatcher program and accessories are the same.

After updating I noticed on SysSpeed that the v46.7 libraries were a
tiny bit faster in most memory and CPU/FPU tests!

:-D

It's a little confusing at first if you have a 68060.

Firstly, the standard Workbench will only have 68040.library if it's
3.0 or 3.1.

1. UnLHA the archive into RAM:

2. Go into your Workbench:Libs/ directory and rename the standard
68040.library to 68040old.library (it's old and no longer needed)

3. From RAM: copy 68040.library to Workbench:Libs/ and rename it
68040new.library (it's the new one with added vitamins!)

4. From RAM: copy 68040dummy.library to Workbench:Libs/ and rename it
68040.library (to trick AmigaOS into thinking it's the old library
when it's just a pointer to 68040new.library)

5. Copy over 68060.library as it is.

Now your old 1992 Amiga can use the 1995 68060!

I doubt 80mips or 110 mips is proportional to other tests.

Both the `old' SysInfo and the relatively new and standard SysSpeed
MUIapp report the 68060 as somewhere in the 38-65 MIPS bracket.

The Blizzard 1260 is only about 4x faster than the Blizzard 1230 from
what I can make out, 2x as fast the Blizzard 1240T/ERC.

This can also be seen with framerate values in Doom, Quake etc. Quake
is obviously heavily enhanced for 68060 so can't be far wrong.

My favourite program used to be AIBB but that wouldn't recognise '060
so I tried SysInfo (the PAL only Aussie program) and now mainly use
SysSpeed.

SysInfo, although old, is still interesting for quick drive-speed
tests, SCSI chain viewing and general insights into the libraries etc.
