@ meerschaum

Well it's the writer's profession to test software and he did his testing in professional settings, thus I consider this to be a review done by a professional tester instead of by just some ethusiast.

BTW, DaveP has done some interesting additional performance testing for anyone who is genuinely interested.   8-)

:lol:  :lol:

... and now he comes up with that cmpletly f*** uped mem-test ......


Nice way of prooving, that you have no clue  :-D
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Same stuff and a lot of other numbers have been on Ann.lu long time
ago, so there is no need to buff that particular website in every
corner. :-)

Great! Let's take items of information published months ago and turn them into a "news" item by regurgitation.

A waste of space.

@ Kronos and JoannaK

IMO you both should take a deep breath now. Why should you get all personal within this thread anyhow? It's only a computer after all.

Why not instead ask the people you support to come up with data which would prove them to be right with regard to their claims? I believe in the past they have even stated that they would do so, but yet they haven't. Yet you decide to attack those who do try to provide you with real life data.

Similar things happened in reply to earlier real life AmigaOne / Pegasos benchmark comparisons, provided by various Peg/AmigaOne owners.

The AmigaOne-XE has gone through professional testing

know if that is the reason. But overall the Peg1 seems to be a nice Linux platform.


:roflmao:

Well they are both slow/expensive solutions for
linux...only problem is A1 is *only* a linux platform
ATM...maybe this will change next year though?!

At least an average user, such as myself,  can *buy* an A1.   :-P

Always the ultraspammers like Kronos and Joanna speak..... Let other serius users give their opinions.

Since AO starst Kronos you have attacked every amiga project.....

MikeB credibility? Much more better than yours, Johanna and Kronos... and all knows. Don't attack him, post serious comment or don't post at all.

Remaining ontopic: great articles, thanks.

@MikeB

Slightly surprised Pegasos owners can run Linux DMA enabled when A1
owners can't... Maybe someone should check if Linux on Pegasos does
something better :-D

Right. We're still waiting for olegil's speed results of
his A1 SE....

PS: Do you have an AmigaOne?

Mai Logic deserves alot of credit for making both Pegasos and AmigaOne platforms a reality.


And Genesi deserves a lot of credit for making the MAI Articia S Northbridge working decently.

However, "decent working" is not at all the same thing as "excellent working". So moving along now. Been there, done that, so to say. I look forward to the Marvell based Pegasos boards ...

Linux is one thing, but it will be interesting to see how various things will be "fixed through software drivers" in OS4 as that OS comes closer and closer to the hardware, and how these software fixes will affect overall performance. Especially on the "A1 SE".

My guess is that Genesi has lost a lot of money (and time!!) in the process of making the Articia S work in a decent way, but at least they have been open about the problems. Without doubt, it has cost them a lot of time and money to develop the April 1, the April 2, and then these six months or so of "void", and the Pegasos 2. I guess that we can "credit MAI for this" too, MikeB ...?
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

Mai Logic deserves alot of credit for making both Pegasos and AmigaOne platforms a reality. This is a most excellent and professional company the various companies could learn alot from.


Mai Logics part has a problem according to several engineers who have alot more experience then you or Dave on board layout.   The Teron Boards were abandoned by the Yellow Dog Linux folks for it, and the Barbie was abandoned as well due to issues with the part.  You in reality dont know anything about the company Mike, you are parroting what Fleecy or maybe Ben told you.  You dont have the education, experience or technical knowledge to know whether the part performs correctly or not.

Both the Pegasos1 and the AmigaOne boards are already nice Linux platforms. The articia has been proven to be of excellent quality, the VIA bugs were hard to find and fix without more support from VIA, but they have done it due to the great teamwork of Eyetech, Mai Logic and AmigaOne betatesters.

Which non engineer told you that Mike??  Fleecy or Ben???

Quote

The writer of that AmigaOne-XE review is an industry professional with professional equipment to his disposal.

What exactly is Dave's job that makes him an industry professional capable of answering questions about DMA bugs??   I'm sorry, but much like your self proclaimed super amiga knowledge, I find it wanting.    Is the DMA bug in Articia??  Don't know, haven't personally tested it, though it may be an interesting experiment.    But if you think what you so strongly classify as "professional testing"  proves it doesn't occur, you are sadly mistaken.
