| AmigaOS4 Petunia benchmarks : Comment 59 of 80 | ANN.lu |

>500Mhz G4 Apple Cube:
100MHz Bus and 1MB L2 cache.
>500Mhz G3 Apple Ibook:
66MHz Bus and 256KB L2 cache.
No surprise the SPEC numbers are quite different,
you are comparing apples and pears here.
*****
I'd say the spec numbers are pretty close even accounting for the Bus and Cache issues. I was trying to do the best to find you info on performance that was around the web. (It's called use a search engine.)
As for L2 Cache that's on the processor and G3 and G3 have different amounts nothing someone out side of Motorola can do about that one.
As for bus speeds -- see later emails appended to this thread such as 53 and 54. Apple B&W G3/400 compared to Apple B&W G4/400. Integer performance is within 3% of each other. FPU performance for the G4 is much improved, by about 30%.
Thus, if you're comparing getting an AmigaOne G3/800 w/ AmigaOne G4/800
you're not going to see much in the way of Interger performance gain
probably close to 0. But, if you're using ImageFX for some heavy
FPU manipulation of your graphics the G4 is going to outperform the
G3 for you.
What the heck you're moving from a 604e @ 233Mhz, best case, to a G3 or 4 at 800Mhz. You're going to see a 3-4 fold performance increase. It appears the systems are about 8-10% difference in cost (for the AmigaOne) decide which one makes the best sense for you and go for it. It'll run circles around your Amiga w/ PPC. |
