As a VERY rough guide, a G3 at 600MHz is about 5-6 times faster than a 603e at 200MHz. But that's not all. Taking away old Amiga bottlenecks and adding a much faster memory bus, as well as eliminating context switches and having a PPC native OS, I'd *estimate* that an A1SE is about 10 times faster than a 200MHz BlizzardPPC board.

An A1XE with G4 at 800MHz could be expected to be 2-3 times faster than that.

So, I take it you didn't actually benchmark A1 at all, just pulling these values form a hat?


Pretty much so, yes - didn't I make that clear enough by saying "VERY rough guide" and *estimate*? If not, then let me re-iterate: they are quasi-educated guesses. If you have better figures by all means share them with us.
