i realise that - be interesting to see how they improve over time. It certainly feels fast and snappy in use though._________________ Sam |

This is a direct output from Ragemem. If it's 'right' or not I cannot say - I'm just giving you the honest output. I think we have deduced that the video speed is exceptionally low at the moment too._________________ Sam |

Well, the VRAM speed that may increase quite a lot with better drivers. So nothing to worry about too much. And the RAM numbers are really impressive! The thing where I am really worried about the values is the MIPS thing. Will be interesting whether the X1000 can handle 720p or 1080. The mini with slower RAM but more MIPS can do with the usual codecs 720p, but fails at 1080 with the usual codecs at 1500MHz. I remember a video of the 8610, which is slower clocked thatnthe 7447A but with a faster bus and in the MIPS rage of your provided Ragemem output value that did 1080 video. Then again video decoding is rather done by Altivec. Dunno the details about PA6T's Altivec/VMX implementation. Publically accessible information on that issue is sparse. _________________ My programs: via.bckrs.de MorphOS user since V0.4 (2001) |

Took about 9 months or so... on-going project really. Thanks, I am glad you like it. :)
Don't forget to sign up to the 'App-store' as well - when you are signed up you can rate software by simply giving software star ratings. Helps new users.
*hint hint to everyone* |
Where is this app store you mention?
Must of been linked to before but I never saw it.

I guess I will need to download this Jack app then too once my X1000 arrives.

I'm glad your AmigaONE X1000 arrived safe and sound. 
You are right about real use speed as opposed to benchmarks though. For example, on my Pegasos II, the Alpha version of Timberwolf takes ~35 seconds to fully open to the "First Run" welcome screen. My X1000 takes ~10 seconds. Similarly, feature laden webpages (such as www.bbc.co.uk) open in under half the time.
Anyway enjoy your new "Amiga". I certainly am. 
Trevor

RageMem test seems not so reliable atm... maybe the nbench and other benchs on the road(like ffmpeg, lame or quake1) can be really much valuable... plz test they on my thread I signaled you :) _________________ Simone"Tuxedo"Monsignori, Perugia, ITALY. |

You'll get a higher GfxBench2D score if you run the test at 1920x1080 instead of 1440x900. See the FAQ for why (second Q + A). You have to be careful that you're "comparing apples with apples" when comparing results.
I do hope to make it easier to compare graphics cards, but I cannot say when I'll get round to it. Like the RadeonHD driver, the GfxBench2D results server needs quite a bit of work before it will deliver what I want it to.

true, you can play with Arkham City on X1000 :) or BattleField 3 or maybe Office 2010...
what kind of software there is currently? x86 emulation is a good test for X1000 cpu

Definitely get Jack. Its really cool and people dont talk about it enough. The App Store is nice. Lets you easily catch up with Amiga software for oS4 |

congrats on your new X1000 & welcome to the club
Half the fun with any Amiga system I've ever owned was just messing around and exploring so enjoy the adventure and, as sundown already noted, don't hesitate to ask any questions you might/will have over at Hyperion Message Board. under the X1000 thread.

Congrats on your new arrival!
My payment was delayed until about 14 hours from now and then my X1000 will be on it's way to my house. I can't wait until it arrives, but will have to read your experiences until I get to unpack my very own X1000.
A huge thank you goes out to Trevor Dickinson for making this all happen. Without his persistence and dedication, this could never have happened.
I am already looking forward to this year's AmiWest Show and wondering how many users will show up there with their own X1000 computers. I will probably be there again with my MorphOS display, but will also have the X1000 sitting next to them, which will be strange for some users to understand.
Keep your reviews and comments coming as you explore your new toy, so all the rest of us can share in your fun. I for one will be interested to read what you choose to install first and what you use most often and what your reflections are about the look, feel and fun factor are.
Again, congrats and enjoy the excitement of having a new Amiga to play with (remember my definition of a new Amiga can be anything, including Mac w/MorphOS, x86 w/AROS, Natami, FPGA Arcade Replay, and any of the AmigaOne computers). _________________ Amiga!

Static benchmarks are nice and serve their purpose but real world application tests are where it is at. If you find the time could you post results of Blender's speed as discussed in this thread.
You can obtain it here.

The mips result from RageMem is wrong Have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second The CPU have 8800MIPS at 2GHZ
And this show the readme
GENERAL NOTES: -Displayed CPU speed may be wrong with some custom CPU. Exec returns my 1.4Ghz G4 to run 400Mhz.
MIPS NOTES: -Benchmarking MIPS is NEVER relevant. From a benchmark to another, the loop used is not the same, giving different results. -Benchmarking MIPS is in most case optimised for a particular CPU, and irrelevant for a CPU with a different architecture. -The real "maximum MIPS" capability of a CPU can be known just with its datasheet, without any benchmark. It's "CPU Frequency * Instruction dispatcher outs". -This is the value I try to bench.
IU32 vs FPU64 NOTES: -Since v0.37, benchmarks are done two times. Integer 32 and Floating point 64. -Depending of the benchmak done (L1, L2, Memory...), of CPU architecture, of bus bandwidth, sometime IU32 is faster, sometime it's FPU64.
AONE NOTES: -Some people use SetA1. Superb tool, thanks to its author! -ECC ram are a bit slower.
HISTORY
v0.37 -Added a small MIPS benchmark. -Now bench with IU32 and FPU64 instead of only FPU64. -Maybe the "Slow L1" problem on Sam440 is solved.
