What's the point of posting these values? You know that TCP/IP-performance on the Amiga depends on the CPU speed. And what CPU card did the machine behind that link have? :)

Let me think about it for a moment. Erhm...no.

No idea of cpu, but it has Z3 bus. :)

A comparison between the x10 and x14 cores with X-Surf-100 Zorro-II:
V500_3499_x10 (PAL 7.093795 MHz x 10 = 70.9MHz):
Packet size  1k bytes:  1662.61 KByte/s Tx,  1813.20 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size  2k bytes:  1805.81 KByte/s Tx,  2000.95 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size  4k bytes:  1936.80 KByte/s Tx,  2081.89 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size  8k bytes:  1970.21 KByte/s Tx,  2006.31 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size 16k bytes:  1993.55 KByte/s Tx,  2081.89 KByte/s Rx.
Packet size 32k bytes:  1988.70 KByte/s Tx,  2150.89 KByte/s Rx.

V500_3478_x14_895 (PAL 7.093795 MHz x 14 = 99.3MHz):
Packet size  1k bytes:  1792.51 KByte/s Tx,  2013.84 KByte/s Rx.

How is this possible for Amiga to be so fast?!?

Is it just me or is that case exceptionally clean?

Looking at the benchmarks there is not much difference between a x10 and x14 clocked vampire.
This means that the Vampire is pretty much maxing out the Zorro II bus.

Yes... Seems that even if the Vampire 2 Apollo was operating at 600 MHz, the AMIGA motherboard can't operate the port any faster.

It's nothing to be concerned about, as the standalone Vampire WILL ROCK!!!

It should EASILY be able to get up to 48 megabits (6 Megabytes) a second transfer rates!

yeah, that looks good right there, Apollo seems to bring out the best in Zii boards. I would like to know what
  precent of the cpu (apollo) is being used to drive X-Surf-100 to that speed ?..The other cpu isn't able to push
  as much data down the bus, something is not setup correctly, and thats a a4kT ...(thats just me)..

CPU usage for x10 core looks like this. CPU usage decreases when receiving larger packet size. Receiving 32k packet uses about 50% CPU. Sending side uses always about 95% CPU.

Gunnar - does the A1200 PCMCIA implementation (And IDE implementation) have the same limitations as the A600?

Hi Simo - thanks for doing those benchmarks.

It would be interesting for comparison purposes to see how Roadshow performs under similar conditions. I am curious to see if Roadshow really is more or less efficient than Amitcp.

Cheers!
