I ran the 68010 on a Mandelbrot generator, and if memory serves me, the timess for rendering were about 4 min, 27 seconds with the 68000, and 4 min, 11 seconds with the 68010. In fact, that's about the only result I remember offhand. -larry -- It is not possible to both understand and appreciate Intel CPUs. -D.Wolfskill +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Larry Phillips says : swapping the 68000 with a 68010 gives about 5% speed gain. I am working with a 68010 for several months now, and in certain cases, there is a big speed difference. I tried running a Mandelbrot-program (I think it was mandelvroom, but I'm not sure anymore) on two A500 side-by-side, one with and one without a 68010. As I saw rendering the pictures, I estimate, the speed gain was about 25%. I was very pleased with these results.
