This is why i'd be rather curious to see the result of the benchmark i suggested:
http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic_id=35053&forum=33&start=240&viewmode=flat&order=0#650877

But this thread suddenly got very silent.


Yes, very strange...?

Would be one of the most interesting benchmarks IMHO!
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

Generally PowerPC stil has some nice chips in the pipeline, Freescale's rediscovering of Altivec is pretty nice.


Nobody is building desktop/laptop motherboards using these CPU's, so they are completely irrelevant. For all purposes interesting to us, the PPC is dead. It's deader than dead. On its grave stone, it has the year 2005 cut in, and this is when Apple announced its migration to x86...

no wonder, as i was going to post pirus blender comparison chart over there i had discover that i had been restricted for a week. not that i didnt expect that after kas1e and me responded to the unbelievable moderation rants here:

http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic_id=35009&forum=33&start=160&viewmode=flat&order=0


LOL, appointing that ChrisH dude a moderator was probably the dumbest thing I have seen over there in a long time! But they have only themselves to blame, they brought this onto themselves! :lol:

(And for the record, true SMP on Amiga is *not* possible without breaking Amiga compatibility. If you are prepared to break the Amiga compatibility, it could be done tomorrow. If not, it can't happen. And this is not "controversial", "fantasy", or "inflamatory", it's cold heart facts! Oh, ChrisH...:lol:!)

@fab:

btw heres your result, just seen it posted over at awnet:

so its again confirming the previous tests.


X1000: BENCHMARKs: VC: 82.849s (+a strangely high 6.697s for I/O, bringing it to 89.552s in total)
MacMini: BENCHMARKs: VC: 84.626s

This to decode a 69 seconds long clip.

Are my following conclusions about this test correct?

Conclusion 1: The X1000 is about on par(!) with a Mac Mini G4 when decoding x264 HD video.
Conclusion 2: The X1000 seems *unable*(!) to decode and play 1080p H264 clips. (This I didn't expect!)

Nobody's building desktop/laptop motherboards with them at the moment. That's unlikely to change in the immediate future, but the industry can take surprising turns some times.


It will never happen. Never EVER *EVER* **EVER!**

If the industry will want something else than x86, it will be ARM. In fact, that process has already begun, and you will start seeing results of this during the current or upcoming few years...

Anyway, this from a guy with a MOS avatar?


Most people today (including the MorphOS developers) understands the situation with PPC. Some MorphOS developer said on morphzone: "If we had know back then, what we know today about PPC, we would have choosen differently". That's why the plan is:

1) Short term: MorphOS 3.0 for PPC
2) Mid term: MorphOS 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc, ..., ..., for PPC
3) Long term: Re-evaluation about the CPU/HW situation, which may include a migration (to x86, ARM or both?)

We are using PPC only because this is where MorphOS currently is, not because PPC is the best, or even good enough (anything that can't play 1080p movies in 2012 isn't good enough).

After some benchmarks x1000 is more overpriced and underpowered than ever.


If you ask me, I would say it's... insane!

As I think someone already said (Karlos?), the really interesting benchmarks won't roll in until we see Linux performance compared on X1000 vs. PPC Mac. That will be a fairer comparison, as we don't know how optimised current AmigaOS builds are for the X1000.


No, no, no, OS4 is the reason the X1000 exist, the reason to why people buy this 2007 level HW instead of the 3-4 2012 level Core-i7 Gaming System's they could get for the same money! Linux is completely irrelevant, you want a Linux machine there are both cheaper and more powerful systems. You see, "currently un-optimized" seems to be the constant state of OS4. In all benchmarks and all comparisons during the last decade we have always heard of "currently un-optimized". Look at the discussions after the extensive MorphOS/OS4 performance comparisons by "obligement.free.fr" some years ago. Always the same "not really optimized now, but will improve". But it never does. Look at the driver situation for the Sam HW. Still not there. But this doesn't stop people from talking about SMP, 3D for Radeon HD, and whatever. It's hilarious! Aeon and Hyperion has now released their $3,000 product, consisting of a combination of HW and OS. This is what people buy, this is what should be bench marked and compared. Whenever (if ever) things gets more "optimized", there could always be new tests and comparisons. But for now, look at the product they are *currently* selling!
