Some of you promised to bench G5 and give us comparison

This can only be an invitation for a flame war. Why did you make this thread when you know what is going to happen?

I'd like to see them as well.  The fact that they're not being provided leads me to believe that the G5 outperforms the X1000 considerably and at 1/10 the price.

Its just a test result I have already discussed with other Linux users, and I am well aware of its limits and strong sides. But I have really promised I will do Linux tests and publish them once I get X1000 to amiga.org users.

Please be civic in any discussion. After all its just technology.

I haven`t seen Phoronix test on G5 either.

G5 is full desktop CPU, not power efficient (X1000 does this at 7W) and core was to develop to 4 cores and above 2GHz (PA Semi) but Apple just used engeeners and anyway left PPC alliance so it never happened. Contrary, G5 in Macs is quite mature product at its best.

No flame, no need for popcorns yet. Rage mem bench is here
but its less favorable - no 3D, no 2nd core and so on, but shows
fast memory transfers. Alongside the thread are rage mem results
for all other OS4 systems.

Last info I can give you is Linux Hardinfo benchmark

no, this an invite to make benchmark within X1000 and G5 users.
It should very interesting to see X1000 compared with other similar systems

Surely, Phornix and Ragemem are OK, other benchmarks, if we agree on them.

Anyway, tested lighter Linux (LXDE Debian 7.2 + Mint 11) with newer kernel (3.10.xx) on same machine and these are the results

For once we agree.
And this situation is likely to stay this way if the MorphOS team ever supports later G5s (like the Quad 2.5).
I'm not really interested in how an OS4 system compares to a MorphOS system.
I want to know how they compare to each other.
After all, what point is there in comparing to different platforms that share no common software?

They share Linux and 68k AmigaOS library.

But nevermind, Phoronix is great test suite and should be ported to AmigaOS and MorphOS. Until then only reliable tests are under Linux.

Or use, your own MOS tests, but you will not know e.g. how fast is G5 using both cores, or does more then 2GB RAM adds any performance.

That is a valid point.
I have been so concerned with not ruffling the AOS supporters feathers that I glossed over that.
That and we were pretty sure the 970 held a pretty good lead early on.

The thing to remember is we are comparing equipment that is only available used to hardware still available new.

We've actually been in violent agreement in the past as well, but I think you misunderstood me.  It's all good though.  I don't hold grudges!  LOL!

Welll once you compare the price of g5 with X1000 test results dont matter lol

That being said i'm thrilled X1000 has alot of GNU Linux support, very important because if you spend $4k for an os4 box you're in trouble trying to get value just running os 4 because of lack of software.

True, how much was G5 when it was nice new and MASS PRODUCED ...?, since I see new Mac with free OS will be as expensive as Nemo.

Well, Linux support is a great thing, I wish old Macs have it also. Because its open source software we depend on anyway.

No shame in Linux.
