68060 Accelerators

The Blizzard 1260 usually sells around 300 EUR these days, which is only 100 more than the new ACA1230/56.
It would be 6 to 8 times more powerful when comparing MIPS.

Sysspeed is the best benchmark and runs on 060.

About the AGA, i think it is a damn good chipset with amazing performance and speed for something that old. I run everything with it (productivity software, emulator including VGA modes for PCTask or Shapeshifter) very nicely.

I had a Porsche and an '060 at the same time, larger pants were necessary.

Dude, you know this 944 is not seen as a real Porsche because of the AUDI motor.
Keep your pants as is.

Franko,

You get 66 MIPS from a Blizzard 060/50MHz? I thought thay put out around 40!?

No, that's perfectly normal.
Under 40 value comes from Sysinfo, which is wrong and does not recognize correctly the 060.

When I look at the CT60 page, it lists the speed of various processors...but they seem very high compared to what I have achieved on Amiga accelerator cards. I know that this is an Atari project, but why such a difference in speed, or are they measuring them differently?

Yeah, none of these values are consistent with amiga accelerators MIPS, but remember that M in MIPS stands for Meaningless.
