eryc has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: 68k is really too slow for current os's. RandalSchwartz: since we can emulate a 68k in real time with javascript, exactly. :) mercutio: i have 68030@50mhz with mmu, it's surprisingly slow at some things.
basically repetitive instruction speed has gone up heaps since then, but table based lookups etc were more efficient in comparison back then.
i think there was 256 byte instruction, 256 byte data cache back then, and it's way bigger now
heh 18 mips vs 127,273 mips. RandalSchwartz: I still cringe when I hear of people talk of the 6800 as "1 mip"
Millions of Instructions Per (what?)
lukcily, we rarely have 1 mips for anything now. :) mercutio: well yeah mips doesn't mean much other than how quickly you can run null loops
which has risen more than other things. RandalSchwartz: back in the day, it was related to typical instruction time though
before we had risc and pipelining mercutio: 68040 is way quicker than 68030 at simple things.
68040 is clocked doubled iirc too just not advertising the fact like dx2 was.
so 68040@25 mhz is like 486dx2-50
mhz wise... performance wise i think they're in the same generation at least.
i remember when 486dx4/100 was like the fastest computer ever, and the newer pentiums were acutally slower. ***: dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
