Raytracing etc isn't going to benchmark the CPU. Instead you'll be benchmarking CPU + Amiga hardware + OS + Misc software. To benchmark the CPU opposed to "the system" you'd need to write a benchmark that takes over the CPU and runs from memory that doesn't need any waitstates.

MIPS = Meaningless Information Processor Speed.


I don't see why it's "meaning less". It shows how many instructions can be executed per second. If those instructions are of equal value the processor with the highest value will be "faster". It'd be silly to compare two totally different processors of course.
