`06.Feb.2012`	Point and Click Adventure: Goldmedaillon The point and click adventure "Goldmedaillon" ("Zloty Medaillon", Youtube video of the demo version) was originally published as Shareware and is now available as free version in German, English and Polish. The game can be played only from harddrive. Before you start the game you have to edit the text file ZM.pref and to enter the path of the directory where the game is. Besides, the game cannot deal with FastRAM, so you have to swich it off or use the system tool "NoFastMem". (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 06.

`04.Feb.2012`	Benchmarks: AmigaOne X1000 compared with other PPC-hardware (Update) The first benchmarks of the AmigaOne X1000 have been posted on various forums (sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The following graphics were created by MorphOS developer Harry 'Piru' Sintonen, used here with kind permission from Mr. Sintonen. LAME With the MP3 encoder LAME the file AKsack.wav was converted into the MP3 format without using any parameters. All systems used LAME builds with Altivec support. The value for the X1000 was confirmed by OS4-developer Hans de Ruiter. Blender With the raytracer Blender the included example bricks_and_water_plugin.blend was rendered with the following command line: `blender_binary -b projects/bricks_and_water_plugin.blend -o ram:pool -F JPEG -f 0` The value for the X1000 was reported by AmigaOne tester sundown, the value for the Sam440ep by the developer who ported Blender to AmigaOS 4, Andy "broadblues" Broad. MPlayer: H264-decoding With the MorphOS MPlayer (and the corresponding AmigaOS 4 port MUI-Mplayer) and the parameters specified below the graphic the H264-encoded video file prometheus-trailer.zip was decoded without showing the result on the screen. The value for the X1000 was reported by X1000-tester Stephen "stevieu" Umney. dnetc Using the distributed.net client, keys for the OGR-NG and RC5-72 projects were calculated (source). All Systems are using the Altivec unit of their processor for these tests - with the exception of the Sam460, which doesn't have Altivec. Copying file A 46 Mb file (AKsack.wav) was copied from one partition to another and then from a partition to the Ram Disk. The results of this test are affected by many external factors like the filesystem used or the mass storage device the partitions reside on. The value for the X1000 was reported by X1000 owner Mufa. RageMem The benchmark tool RageMem tests the access time for various memory types. Due to a missing MorphOS version, the test on a PowerMac was performed running the AmigaOS 4 build on OS4Emu: RAGEMEM v0.37 - compiled 11/06/2010 PowerMac G4@2Ghz A1 X1000 PA6T@1.8Ghz Pegasos 2 G4@1133 Mhz L1: 16 KB L1: 64 KB L1: 32 KB L2: 1024 KB L2: 2048 KB L2: 512 KB L3: none L3: none L3: none Cache Line: 0 Cache Line: 64 Cache Line: 32 --- CPU --- --- CPU --- --- CPU --- MAX MIPS: 5982 MAX MIPS: 3084 MAX MIPS: 3398 --- L1 --- --- L1 --- --- L1 --- READ32: 7606 MB/Sec READ32: 6851 MB/Sec READ32: 4318 MB/Sec READ64: 15209 MB/Sec READ64: 13682 MB/Sec READ64: 8634 MB/Sec WRITE32: 6518 MB/Sec WRITE32: 6851 MB/Sec WRITE32: 3701 MB/Sec WRITE64: 5072 MB/Sec WRITE64: 13681 MB/Sec WRITE64: 2880 MB/Sec --- L2 --- --- L2 --- --- L2 --- READ32: 2166 MB/Sec READ32: 3276 MB/Sec READ32: 1942 MB/Sec READ64: 2560 MB/Sec READ64: 4784 MB/Sec READ64: 2529 MB/Sec WRITE32: 2445 MB/Sec WRITE32: 2531 MB/Sec WRITE32: 1745 MB/Sec WRITE64: 3348 MB/Sec WRITE64: 4090 MB/Sec WRITE64: 2193 MB/Sec --- RAM --- --- RAM --- --- RAM --- READ32: 276 MB/Sec READ32: 2857 MB/Sec READ32: 144 MB/Sec READ64: 276 MB/Sec READ64: 4000 MB/Sec READ64: 144 MB/Sec WRITE32: 804 MB/Sec WRITE32: 2732 MB/Sec WRITE32: 197 MB/Sec WRITE64: 810 MB/Sec WRITE64: 3383 MB/Sec WRITE64: 425 MB/Sec WRITE: 752 MB/Sec () WRITE: 352 MB/Sec () WRITE: 795 MB/Sec () --- VIDEO BUS --- --- VIDEO BUS --- --- VIDEO BUS --- READ: 32 MB/Sec READ: 15 MB/Sec READ: 51 MB/Sec WRITE: 180 MB/Sec WRITE: 161 MB/Sec WRITE: 221 MB/Sec () "Tricky" Update: (04.02.2012, 15:30, cg) Added the dnetc benchmark.
