Yet Another Benchmark: This time decoding a H264 video clip with MPlayer (suggested by Fab).
As predicted X1000 PA6T fared better in this test.
That is an encouraging test result, since the Peg2 is regarded as the fastest computer to run OS4.x on previous to the X1000 (unless there are some test results from the SAM460ex that I have not seen yet that show otherwise?), and the X1000 is more than twice as fast than the tested Peg2 in this test.
It is also faster than the 1.67GHz G4 PowerBook, which will shortly be the fastest non-overclocked, or third party accelerated, supported MorphOS hardware.
I know the X1000 can't compete with modern x86 systems, but the results of testing so far are as good, or better than I had expected, as my expectations were realistic and not overly inflated.
I am satisfied that it appears A-Eon & Varisys have done a good job designing and building this system.
