that's 4.33 times faster than a V1200.

| Pretty fast! Is it stable at that clock speed?

Yes the test cards that I tried are very stable with it.

| What clock MHz are we talking about ? Does it mean that the memory bandwidth is greater than ~600 Mb/s ? What does SysInfo MIPS say ?

Lets clarify that the V4 Firebird will be shipped with the same core speed as the default V4 Standalone. It will be shipped with x12 Cores like V4 is. Both V4 Standalone and Firebird can in theory also go higher. Cores with higher speed like x13/x14/x15 can be run as "overclock" cores on both Standalone and Firebird. The above core is such an overclock core, and I run it to verify that the Firebird PCB runs stable on higher clock too. So this is mainly a test to stress the system and verify stability under overclock conditions.

| AIIB shows a 68060 CPU - on my V2 it's "only" a 68040. Why the change?

Very nice Gunnar! Where did you get AIBB 6.8 from? I can't find it. Also, it would be nice to see a side-by-side comparison in speeds for the V2/V1200, and Firebird. Could you do that all in AIBB? (vs comparing it to an A1200, A4000 etc). The relatively speeds between the Vampires would be interesting to see. I have expressed interest in the Firebird and I already have a V2 in my A2000 and a V1200 in my 1200. Darren

Do you use a different version of AIBB?

Ok thank you. I have 6.7 from Coffin. I'm not on the latest release of Coffin, maybe even it's 6.8 in the newest one. Do you know if there is any change log for AIBB?
