SysSpeed 2.6 - Anyone got modules for CD32/SX32, CDTV, A600 etc.
« on: December 17, 2004, 01:20:26 AM »
I'm curious as to what these mysterious machines perform like under a
standardised benchmark utility like SysSpeed v2.6.

It'd be interesting to compare if say an SX32 Pro 50 could match a
Blizzard 1230-IV 50.

Also, how do your '030 enhanced A600's do against a stock A1200 '020!

Post links to your console-Amiga SysSpeed modules now!

:-D

I have put a module of my SX32 Pro 030/50 online at:

Wow, that's really interesting!

SysSpeed v2.6 doesn't seem to recognise the board too well from the
Module Information window (Viper 520, 177Mhz FPU!) but it's giving a
good picture from the main data!

The CD32 motherboard seems to be better than the A1200's - your
ChipRAM reading/writing is thrashing my Blizzard 1260 system and so
too are Intuition speeds and various other things like
scrolling/filling. I wonder if that is the Akiko chip or refined
chipset workings...

Do you have an FPU in there? It doesn't look like a 50Mhz 68882 from
the graph...

Hi,

The full spec is:

68030 CPU 50 Mhz, 68882 FPU, 50 MHz,
16 Mbyte of 60 nS RAM

I saw that it beat an A4000/030 in the RAM tests.

When I ran the test, I stole the hard drive from my A600, so it was only running WB 2.05, I used a KS3 disk to enable AGA features (newer setpatch).

I could not get the Imagestudio tests to run, even though I had it installed.

It's a nippy little machine but unreliable, due to the shuttleboard connectors!

Maybe tomorrow I'll benchmark my A1200/040, providing I have not destroyed the Apollo card! ;)

I've read somewhere that the CD32 has a full 68020 whilst the A1200
used the 68EC020 budget version.

I think the budget versions had their memory management units taken
out right?

Still, can't work out how your SX32-Pro is doing intuition and
graphics resizing faster on quite a few tests, and the Chip2Chip tests
were blinding.

What are shuttleboard connectors? I get unreliability with my SCSI-IV
which some people have said has 'zebra' connectors.

Are these the same, slot in connector type?

On other threads I've been advised to use fibreglass pens and cleaning
solutions.
