blender benchmarks

ARM is going forward on every fronts. Even DSPs and media processors include ARM core these days.

Indeed it is, and more power to it. But that doesn't mean it will reign forevermore eternal.

"The whining about the benchmarks is hilarious. If I dumped over 3,000 bucks on this crap I probably wound't want to see it either."

You wouldn't want to know the truth?

Mac mini is apparently just as fast and I just saw 2 on ebay for 185.00$ buy it now.

Thats quite a difference in price for such similar hardware when the mac is just about the same speed...

A 3 ghx OS4 machine will run our non existant, not yet coded programs that ship on $20 smartphones by default, OS4 software that we need at rapid speeds in 3 ghz ranges, which does not exist....

I'm a big fan of OS4.  But I bet Blender crashes just as nice on a X1000 as it does on my SAM 440.

honestly here on my Pegasos2@1131 blender was quite usable and get some sporadic crash only when try to save rendered picture(but seems a my software problem with some weir dlib...

So why you have so much crashes?

[Duce]

By some people's standards, I guess Blender could be considered usable on OS4/SAM 440ep, and to be fair the version I used was one of the very early OS4 releases so perhaps I should give it a little more leeway.  I don't do a whole lot of 3d rendering anyways, and any that I do is generally done in programs I am already more familiar with, programs that get the job done 100x quicker and better on my 4+ ghz SLI PC.  One crash is too many crashes when I have other options, so I got annoyed quickly with the fact it had a habit of crashing/locking up when I tried to save/load projects on the OS4 version.  Blender is likely a lot more stable now for OS4, but when I tried it it was not much more than a novelty to me, was too unstable to really use - but again, that was likely one of the very first OS4 releases.

I'm a bit picky about software stability, especially if there is a PC counterpart/version I can run.  Some folks are head over heels in love with Blender, where as I find it a bit oddball to use interface wise on any of the platforms it comes on, be it OS4, Windows, or Linux.

All this is boring to me.... I prefer real world stuff.

How about Srec performance so we perhaps see X1000 screen capturing videos on YouTube?  Thats what I wanna see.

Blender, Lame and Mplayer are real world stuff.

True sorry, just under the weather atm, I just don't find it particularly interesting.  I'll sod off and leave you it.  Perhaps I'll open a new thread, see if any takers.

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

[HenryCase]

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.

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

Compare it like you want but the result its the same, (someone on another thread wants to see bf2 under wine, thats crazy). We are talking about a 2500eur computer please.

These people of hyperion and aeon are wasting the name "amiga"

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!

Speak for yourself. I would rather spend 2500Euro than use a crappy macmini any day. If i bought an x1000 it wouldn't be for the performance anyway.

[kickstart]

I speak for myself dont worry, i dont talk about mac mini or morphos in any moment, chill out boy, but if you buy a x1000 then... is for what?
