Constantly Improvements...

As most of you know Apollo CPU evolve a long road from 1st SILVER core to latest GOLD one. The most visible and important thing is of course AMMX add on - our enchanced version of famous x86 MMX SIMD extension. This combined together with another great new features, fusings and bondings, should speedup nicely many things - like new datatypes or movie decoders.
      But core is improved constantly, even if sometimes changes are not that spectacular. For example latest speed change added to our test core allows last small loop iteration to be predicted. This "small" change can speedup very nicely execution of small loops. This kind of code "short loops" can be find in many programs, like pic dtype or mpeg/h264 decodes etc. So now it should be  a little bit faster. This feature should speedup existing "normal" 68k apps too - all programs should benefit that feature, some more some less, depends of code.
      Flype kindly make a small bench that shows this kind of code score.
      We invite you to run this banchmark on your 68k setup (preferably real 020-060/TG68020/FPGArcade/MIST) and post results here. Now... Lets play a little guessing game - tell me how good score your system and what you guess for our test Apollo core :-)

I got around 4.2 MIPS on my ACA1233n 26MHx. Is execution time relevant? If so I'll post the rest of the data later when I get home.

Tested on my systems:
   
- MIST, AGA core 1.2, emulated 68020, results are mostly the same regardless of Turbo setting
- PC, Core i7 4790K, 4 Ghz (up to 4.4 Ghz turbo), DDR3-1600, Linux, FS-UAE 2.7.14 64bit

Results:

MIST               4 mips / 20822744 us    // feels old and obsolete
UAE, no JIT:    133 mips /  747944 us    // bite me...
UAE, indirect:  2547 mips /    39254 us    // hah!
UAE, direct:    2739 mips /    36503 us    // smell my fan exhaust :D

My A1200 is currently in 'decomposed' state, undergoing modernization - so no real machine test result from me.

Core i5 4300M 2.6 GHZ 8 GB DDR3 Win 10 WinUAE

UAE  JIT Indirect    1775 MIPS  /56338 us
UAE, JIT Direct      1902 MIPS  / 52224 us
UAE, No JIT          121  MIPS / 819651 us

Without JIT vampire/apollo-core wins hands down.
Too bad the A4000 with csppc 060/60Mhz isn't runnin ATM.

Hmm so is the 165 score the GOLD core and you have a new test core that is faster ???
If so im guessing 180 MIPS :)

Score of 165 is from new Apollo testcore. Current Gold is slower.
And about improvements.... a new fusing was added and now must be tested :)

My Vampire 600 V2 Black (core GOLD1) result is "only" 86 MIPS. Is it normal?

Yes it is. As told by pisklak, gunnar improved the core since gold 1 to improve loops prediction. This shows that this improvement is twice faster than gold 1 **. Also 86 mips doesn't means it is the global score (which is about 110 mips) but it is 86 mips for this specific test (a simple ASM loop with some ADD.l inside).
