Demanding facts and methodology eh? You don’t seem to understand benchmarks.

Demanding facts and methodology eh? You don’t seem to understand benchmarks.
- rbanffy 6y agoOr any meaningful benchmarks that can run on both a C64 and a modern computer.
- brucehoult 6y agoI think this one isn't bad. I've run it on everything down to 8 bit AVR. I haven't tried 6502 but it would fit no problem. http://hoult.org/primes.txt http://hoult.org/primes.txt
- rbanffy 6y agoMy concern is that almost anything that fits in a C64 will run out of the L1 cache in most modern CPUs and yield very unrealistic results compared to reasonable modern workloads.
- jerf 6y agoI think that's a valid result in its own way, though. It's not the poor C64's fault that we insist on chewing through megabytes and gigabytes just to run a chat app.

- gameswithgo 6y agoEvery benchmark means something. The problem is you make a benchmark to measure the thing you are curious about. If that then indicates a result that makes something you like look bad, then you feel it is an unfair benchmark. Or if you were curious about some other kind of performance, then it is a bad benchmark. Every benchmark is meaningless or unfair to somebody.
