[what ifs]PA RISC performance
« on: July 14, 2012, 04:43:08 PM »
Are there any benchmarks of PA RISC CPUs? In the hypothetical case of C= surviving past 94', how would a PA RISC based Amiga fare against Pentium powered PCs and PPC Macs...

It seems that PA 7150 was quite faster than both Pentium and PPC chips of the era running on similar clock speed.

And to think that C= negotiated a pretty nice contract with HP enabling them to design their own PA RISC chips... seems like a very good deal and sucg a shame it never happend.

But it would hardly been running AmigaOS.


Probably not at first.
