- AmInfo.DOC v1.0 ©Leclercq Xavier 1992
- -------------------------------------
- ENGLISH VERSION
-
- First:
- ------
-
- If your Kickstart version is lower than 37.175 (ROM 1.2/1.3),and if
- you have an accelerator card, you have to run SETPATCH (>=v1.34) to prevent
- some exec.library bugs !
-
- The following information is displayed only if your kickstart is
- higher that 36.xx (click on the VERSION button to get your kick. version).
-
- "CIA Clock Frequency" (KHZ)
-
- About AmInfo 1.0 :
- ------------------
-
- AmInfo v1.0 has beeb completly written in assembler. The source code
- (about 100 Kb) contains for a large part (1/3) a CPU speed calculation
- routine that has been made possible with an utility from the AmigaLibDisk
- n°1. Thanks may go to Mr. Rick Richardson for translating the ADA code.
-
- This CPU speed that has a quite good precision when comparing the
- Amiga performances with others systems (or configurations).
-
-
-
- CPU SPEED: (AmInfo precision: +- 0.1%)
- ----------
-
- <<< NOTE: The RAM chips speed may modify the result of the test >>>
- <<< The ©TESTIT (PC) seems to show some exageration... >>>

-
- Un [lame] PC/XT "Turbo" 8 Mhz : 350 Dhrystones/secs
-
- A500 (512 K) : 598 Dhrystones/secs
-
- KCS Pc Board : 750 Dhrystones/secs
-
- PC-AT/6 Mhz : 1000 Dhrystones/secs
-
- A500+ (4 Mb) : 1086 Dhrystones/secs
-
- PC-AT A2286/8Mhz for A2000 : 1492 Dhrystones/secs
-
- A2000 + 68020 A2620 : 2860 Dhrystones/secs
-
- A2000 + 68030 Commodore (*) : 3906 Dhrystones/secs
-
- IBM 386/20 Mhz (model 70) : 4360 Dhrystones/secs
-
- A3000 (new motherboard) : 6265 Dhrystones/secs
-
- Compaq 386/33 Mhz : 9200 Dhrystones/secs
-
- A2000 + 68030/68882 50Mhz... : 10400 Dhrystones/secs
-
-
-
-
-
- DISPLAY SPEED: (AmInfo precision: +- 0.5% with FastFonts!)
- --------------
-
- <<< NOTE : The system 2.0 & 32-bits RAM Chips may modify the result >>>
-
-
- KCS Pc Board : 1215 Characters/secs
-
- PC AT A2286/8Mhz for A2000 : 2000 Characters/secs
-
- Atonce 7Mhz (Hercules MDA 8) : 2200 Characters/secs
-
- A500/A2000 (Non ECS) : 2560 Characters/secs
-
- A500+ : 4192 Characters/secs
-
- A3000 ("simple") : 5776 Characters/secs
-
- A2000 + 68030 Commodore (*) : 5821 Characters/secs
-
- A3000 (ultra fast rams) : 10740 Characters/secs
-
- (*) minimum (more fast with kickstart2.0!)
-
-
- All these results are given for example. The Real result may depend
- of several parameters : Coprocessors , MNU , MPU , 16 or 32 bits RAMs ,
- Cache memory... But this altrough a good start th have an idea of the
- power of your computer.

-
- THANXES:
- --------
-
- Thanks to every people that write to me. I always read all the letters
- that come to me, but , because of the number , it becomes more and more
- display to answer them all... (Should there be someone who can cope with
- days of more than 24 hours ???). But I read all letters and I make my best
- to answer...
-
- Thanks again to Jean-Pierre VanBostal , Design System and Thibaut
- Maquet (the translator/debugger/multitasking man) for testing the program
- on others configurations , and to Marc Alagem for the program's graphic
- design.
-
- For contact , (About Viruses for my (MVK) MasterVirusKiller program,
- to send to me your AmInfo's speed Characters/Dhrystones results , bugs
- reports...) , please write to the adresse below:
