That wasn't my point anyway, all benchmarks are optimized for x86, some versions of linux might support h/w acceleration, I'm not a linux expert/fan to know. There are no fair tests for the x1000, some ppl here understand that, others use the results to degrade a-eon's efforts.

The x1000 runs os4 faster then any x86 system build, thats all I care about.

@itix

"To me interesting is "what if morphos was running on this hardware?" and these benchmarks answer my question very well."

It would run as fast as on the fastest G4 PowerMac?
And it does not indicate that it is worthwhile for MOS to go (single corely) to G5 or PA6T?
Especially performance wise not interesting for you to spend those thousands of euros for another PPC toy?

For me... x1000 is neither for me. (even though it's a very cool HW)
My AOS4 HW investments will go to some other high performing PPC HW.
(in the meanwhile I should get extra bang by registering MOS for my MosMini and re-install AROS to my old 2500+ AMD box.)


btw. would you consider AOS4 powered LimeBook as a interesting toy, even though you have plenty of G4PowerBooks(I imagine)?

Wow, Honeywell, now that company has got bad reputation in Finland...


I hope not for PA6T benchmarks.

I linked that paper because it also confirms very good FFT performance of PA6T in comparison to G4 - same as we saw in FFT benchmark in HardInfo.

Only surprice to me is the higher FPU performance of the G5. Why is that?


970MP 2500 MHz has SpecFp2000 result 2119. That is in the league of Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.73 GHz.

Quote:
So the 25W PA6T (and G4) seems very nice against 100W G5.


HardInfo probably isn´t good benchmark for overall CPU performance.

Now comparison to 970MP in HardInfo benchmarks:

PA6T 1.8 GHz is as fast as 970 MP:
CPU Blowfish: 1.67 GHz
CPU CryptoHash: 2.16 GHz
CPU Fibonacci: 2.6 GHz
CPU N-Queens: 1.86 GHz
FPU FFT: 1.50 GHz
FPU Raytracing: 1.10 GHz

If I understand well it seems PA6T is quite similar to a G5 in these performances...

>970MP 2500 MHz has SpecFp2000 result 2119.

And as it seems PA6T does not seem to deliver according it's predicted SpecFP rating...

@andres

I don't know if any of these benchmarks are accurately showing the true performance of both cores in the PA6T, but if the test results eventually show that the 25watt PA6T is on par with a 100watt G5 of the same clock speed, that is a good accomplishment, to reduce power consumption by 75% while keeping the same processing power.

Judging by HardInfo benchmarks it nearly delivers promised (PASemi expected 1500 SpecFp2000 at 2 GHz - 1350 at 1.8 GHz). However, other benchmarks I trust more (Blender) show much lesser results.

The PA6T uses only 7Watt maximum at 2GHZ. Not 25. The PA6T was designed to have a good performance/Watt ratio.

Kind regards,

Good question, I have a feeling the answer is no.

I got 6:54 min with Wazp3D/os4.1
Linux 1 core 7 min
Linux 2 cores 3:26 min

Not as fast as I would expect compared to my micro.

One PA6T core 7 W. Two cores 14 W. Entire SoC 25 W.

It would be really nice to have support for two cores even in AmigaOS.

Under 10 mins, right?

10:42 min on my 800MHz micro, so I would expect under 5 min on the x1000 with 1 core.

@sundown

what scares me is, the PPC architecture used to be faster in that kind of math long time ago and it's not, anymore. An i5 cpu at 3GHz needs 25 seconds to render that scene in one thread. 7.22 seconds in four threads.

scary...

Nice!

However, not directly comparable to 2.48 results of OS4 Blender.

Good question, I have a feeling the answer is no.


Blender 2.4x and blender 2.5x (for low x at anyrate)do not use the GPU and definetly not GL for rendering with the blender render engine.

faster Graphics would make a *small* difference if rendering with GUI open. Probably not enough to worry about though.

GL inc shaders *is* used for rendering with the game engine.

For very much later blenders 2.5x (high x) and 2.6x there is anew engine called cycles whch uses the GPU (not GL) via nVidia;s cuda (not 100% sure I got the acronym right) interface to the GPU.

Those figures don't look to bad to me. It's quite aheavy benchmark IRC, That's comarable to a 2.6 GHz pentiom 4 whatever that means in real life.

Bear in mind also that CPU grunt isn't the only limiting factore with blender, very complex scenes need memory. Sometimes quite alot of it, so the X1000 is better placed than a micro in that regard.

good thing you start slowly to realize.
to my knowledge 3d software does not use hardware acceleration for rendering because the results might vary too much depending on used hardware. it might be used for preview instead.

@broadblues: you ve beat me, but thanks for confirmation..;)

so you expect a major blender engine overhaul somewhere between 2.48 and 2.49 that might have significant influence on the benchmark? lets say 200% speedup?
