AmigaOS4 Petunia benchmarks : Comment 19 of 80 | ANN.lu |
Posted by BrianK on 18-Aug-2003 12:55 GMT | In reply to Comment 9 (Anonymous): G4@800 should easily beat Pegasos with just 600MHz G3... Right?
--------
It 'depends'....
1) 800 is faster then 600 but not by much.
2) G3=G4 are pretty much, yes I know they're not, equivalent in speed. The G4 has the altivec...
3) AmigaOS4 vs PegasOS are two different OSes. They are doing things differently. Thus, if AmigaOS4 is less efficent then PegaOS then it may not be much improved.
4) Hardware is a bit different, which board handles tasks more efficently and how does that play a role?
5) Altivec? Will AmigaOS4.x implement Altivec calls and how do these calls play into the emulation. Appears for right now they really won't be used...
So, there are some other factors to consider. I'm comfortable with believing the emulation will be as fast as the 600Mhz G3 but at 800Mhz will probably be faster. |
