I don't hate 68k show me native 68k as fast and as comfortable as cheap pc from win95 era and I will use it why not? I hate scumbags that try to force people to switch 68k when 68k is still when it was in 1992 too slow too outdated

I am deliberately making bullish and bombastic claims. My source for this claim is a statement @MagicSN made in another thread.
The key thing is, we have not yet tapped the full potential of emu68 when combined with a Raspberry Pi. There is growth here.
But there is no growth of @ppcamiga1's beloved PowerPC Amiga.

Faster ARM hadfware (that Pi5 is) and further ARM optimizations. Beside hardware lock by Kickstart and few drivers OS4 is plain unoptimized for target CPU and under developed. _________________ OS 3.x AROS and MOS supporter, fi di good, nothing fi di unprofessionalism.

In tests Apollo V4 has faster mem access then x1000 Per Mhz is also faster, and AMMX yields more results then few Altivec OS4 apps.
Only problem is there is no 1Ghz 080 ASIC Last edited by vox on 11-Nov-2024 at 11:44 AM.

FPGAs are high performance and high tech but suffer from routing inefficiency. The performance potential often exceeds a CPU for parallel workloads. The Cyclone series is the low end of Intel Altera FPGAs. The following data is typical and may vary within the series.
FPGA series | fab size | memory Agilex 10nm DDR5|DDR4|LPDDR5|LPDDR4 Stratix 14nm DDR4|DDR3|DDR2|DDR Arria 20nm DDR4|DDR3|LPDDR3 Max 55nm DDR3|DDR2|LPDDR2 Cyclone 28nm DDR3|DDR2|LPDDR2
The Max series uses a larger fab size to allow built in NOR flash that does not scale to smaller nodes. This avoids a separate flash chip. The RPi RP2350 SoC MCU has an option to stack a NOR flash chip on top of the MCU chip to save space which sounds like it would be a good option for FPGAs.
system | SoC fab size | memory Sam460 90nm DDR2 X1000 65nm DDR2 X5000 45nm DDR3 A1222 45nm DDR3
RPi_3 40nm DDR2 RPi_4 28nm LPDDR4 RPi_5 16nm LPDDR4X
Gunnar has considered moving up to a larger and faster FPGA for a high end FPGA Amiga system. The Arria series could allow DDR4 memory bandwidth which is better than any PPC Amiga system but the CPU clock speed may only double and maybe not that as I understand it so the performance increase may not be worth the cost. There are other options like high speed SerDes for more modern I/O and IP blocks that may accelerate performance in certain cases. The most expensive FPGAs get very expensive like as much as a car or even house. Gunnar has options to move up to a newer or more expensive FPGA. PPC options are looking like old tech compared to FPGA and RPi hardware and will just get older as PPC AmigaNOne hardware fades out of existence.

Its fast at 80Mhz (v2) and up to 100Mhz (V4) Now imagine ASIC of 1Ghz plus. Thats what we need fundraiser instead of waiting on OS4 miracles like Libre etc.
Also, see how fast ApolloOS progressed compared to OS4 and AmiKit XE or MorphOS. These are good solutions.
Simply quit OS4, its run by liars, money grabbers and incompetent personnel. _________________ OS 3.x AROS and MOS supporter, fi di good, nothing fi di unprofessionalism. Learn it harder way! SinclairQL and WII U lover :D YT http://www.youtube.com/user/rasvoja |

Fixed point 3D, low texel depth and a propensity to use affine texturing because perspective correction was slow. Yep, the PS1 was actually pretty terrible in hindsight. _________________ Doing stupid things for fun... |

I believe the higher end and larger FPGAs were in FPGA developer boards. The AC68080 and predecessors were simulated in FPGA dev boards before Majsta provided the Vampire requiring a cut down CPU core to fit the tiny FPGA. I don't even recall the Natami having a FPGA CPU board even though Jens was working on the N68050 at the time but maybe they put it in with the SAGA chipset. Thomas tested with real 68k CPUs from what I recall.

The V4SA is probably close to being able to emulate the PS1 and it is unlikely to be optimized for AMMX. The PS1 3D and AMMX both use fixed point integers so AMMX may be able to provide a pretty good boost. More CPU performance is easier though. The PiStorm with RPi 4 is a few times better performance which looks like it is adequate performance for PS1 emulation.

Emulate PS1?
The argument is that the resurrected 68k+ in FPGA is at the level of being able to run many of those late '90s games being ported to AmigaOS 4 to much adulation.
So port to 080+SAGA+AMMX+Maggie 3D instead. There are more users, plus there's the added bonus of pissing off ppcamiga1.

PlayStation 1 is a 33.8 Mhz computer. resultion PAL 4:3 PlayStation 2 is a ~ 300Mhz computer PlayStation 3 is a 3.2 GHz computer, resultion 720p
Just to compare the PlayStation 1,2,3,4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptiN9yeQlB4
I’m sure that some games do not need lot more CPU power, (Running Tetris on a 4Mhz or 5Ghz computer makes no difference.)
But texture quality and 3d models are a lot better with newer hardware. Newer games typically has larger resolution as well, the graphic card is important.
the last powerpc for Amiga in late 90's is a:
Bizzard CyberStrom PPC 604 is 233Mhz.

Some of the Hyperion Entertainment games from the late 90's, that has been re-released.
Run on 68060 50Mhz, you don't need 68080 to run Heretic II, but the game Sin is a bit more demanding on the CPU.
Well… not all games are from the late 90’s there is a lot of games after 2000.
https://www.youtube.com/@huguesnouvel-hunoppc-7562/videos
Doom 3 is from 2003 Pray 2006 WipeOut W.I.P is not the old version, it has more detailed texture and higher system requirements.
AmigaONE A1222 computer is 1.2Ghz CPU with DDR3 memory. AmigaONE X1000 computer is 1.8Ghz CPU with DDR2 memory. AmigaONE X5020 computer is 2Ghz CPU with DDR3 memory.
So faster then PS2 but slower than PS3. Last edited by NutsAboutAmiga on 13-Nov-2024 at 10:00 PM. Last edited by NutsAboutAmiga on 13-Nov-2024 at 09:56 PM.

OK, looks like I need to go back to the beginning:
@ppcamiga1 argued that unless the 68k camp makes something as capable as a cheap PC from the late '90s, he's not interested. He also mentioned that the graphics and 3D on 68k are worth nothing (crap).
Then I explain how the Apollo V4 SA is at the level of a cheap PC from the second half of the '90s, with it's graphics and 3D capabilities above the PS1.
While there might be a few ported titles from the early 2000s, the majority of titles that have been ported to AmigaOS 4 have been from the '90s. Yes, there are different machines of different specs and at different price points. What generally draws a developer to make a new game or port an existing game is weighted in favour of market size.

As I said earlier, beyond 2005 is where unified shaders and SMP started to become more common for games. AmigaOS 4 has optional Warp3D Nova support for the unified shaders but lacks SMP. A virtual 68k+ Amiga has neither. Also, many later x86-64 games require more single thread performance than either have.

AmigaONE A1222 computer is 1.2Ghz CPU with DDR3 memory. AmigaONE X1000 computer is 1.8Ghz CPU with DDR2 memory. AmigaONE X5020 computer is 2Ghz CPU with DDR3 memory.

The PS3 PPC CPU/PPE has a very deep pipeline for the high clock speed and many integer instructions have 2 cycle latency instead of the common single cycle latency. The CPU stalls easily and often has long stalls due to the deep pipeline. Single thread CPU performance is more comparable to a PPC CPU at half the clock speed while SMT can extract more total CPU performance with two threads and careful programming again. The X5000 CPU would likely be good enough to play PS3 games but the SIMD unit, SPEs and chipset would be challenging to emulate. Some simple PS3 games may have been PPC recompiles that the X5000 could emulate. The caches play a role in CPU performance which should be considered.
PS1 4 kiB instruction cache, no data cache, 1 kiB scratchpad memory PS2 16 kiB instruction cache, 8 kiB data cache, 16 kiB scratchpad memory PS3 32 kiB L1 instruction cache, 32 kiB L1 data cache and 512 kiB L2 cache
The PS3 CPU caches were a big improvement from the PS2. At least this minimized memory latency for the unusual in-order PPC CPU design.
