- An italian paper on raytracing/rendering has made a test last month to
- compare the cyberstorm against a P133. They used one of the test picture
- of Lightwave (the one with 16 cubes with different mapping effects).
- The pentium 133 took approx. 12 min. and the 68060/60 took a little more
- than 13 min.
- In other word, this would mean that the 68060 was twice faster than
- the P133 (considering that it ran at half clock speed).
-
- Of course, there might be other tests (perhaps Lightwave has been particularly
- optimised for the 68060), but applications certainly have great benefit
- from the large number of register of the 680x0 family (compared to the
- very poor x86 registers set)
