| 16:18.19 | ssvb | (dual issue a 128-bit instruction with 64-bit instruction) |

| 16:21.37 | buZz | yeah i just submitted cubie to that link up top |
| 16:22.36 | buZz | ssvb: so, for neon cubie1 would be faster? |
| 16:23.02 | ssvb | buZz: yes |
| 16:23.14 | buZz | nice |
| 16:23.26 | buZz | sadly i borrowed it away :P |
| 16:23.44 | ssvb | buZz: but cubie2 is dualcore, so overall performance is probably still better for cubie2 |
| 16:23.56 | buZz | not sure |
| 16:24.08 | buZz | omap4460 does over 1khs per core |
| 16:24.33 | buZz | but thats A9 |
| 16:24.45 | buZz | anyway, without neon omap4460 performs similar to cubie2 |
| 16:25.46 | ssvb | how much did you get on cubie2? |
| 16:26.22 | buZz | 0.82khs total for both cores |
| 16:26.40 | buZz | revalidates 1khs for omap4460 |

| 16:28.54 | ssvb | buZz: with NEON |
| 16:29.28 | buZz | pretty impressive |
| 16:29.45 | buZz | so cubie1 is faster than cubie2 ;) |
| 16:30.25 | ssvb | for certain things - yes |
| 16:32.09 | ssvb | with cortex-a7 their intention was likely to simplify the cpu as much as possible, so that it still performs good on typical code produced by the compilers |

| 17:23.18 | mnemoc | weird definition of "fake" you have |
| 17:27.50 | utente | cos A10 has cortex-a8, A20 has cortex-a7. folllowing the "commercial" name, you can think it is the "double" of A10, but it is not. in facts, A10 is better of A20 in some cases: it should not be possible if A20 were really a "doubled" A10. |
| 17:28.57 | mnemoc | nothing meaningful can be taken out of the marketing names of allwinner chips |
| 17:29.16 | mnemoc | even their sunNi notation was redefined with the A23 SDK |
| 17:29.46 | utente | marketing name are made to cheat customers :-) |
| 17:30.08 | ssvb | utente: A20 is more balanced than A10, you are less likely to get something that performs pathologically bad |
| 17:30.08 | mnemoc | try to explain ARM cortex-a* numbering |
| 17:30.47 | ssvb | utente: on the other hand, something that used to perform exceptionally good, got tuned down too :) |
| 17:30.59 | utente | mnemoc, that is another headhake. i searc aroud a lot a comparison table for cortex cpu without success. ARM holding thake that information in "dark mode". |
| 17:31.29 | utente | ssvb, A20 is "hot", i dislike "hot" ARM soc. |
| 17:32.09 | utente | with "hot" i refere to temperature. |
| 17:32.20 | ssvb | also cortex-a8 simply does not support multi-core configurations, so dual-core cortex-a8 is out of question |
| 17:32.53 | utente | ssvb, rellay? bad news to me .-( |
| 17:32.55 | ssvb | it is not like allwinner had much choice other than maybe using cortex-9 instead of cortex-a7 |
| 17:33.15 | ssvb | *cortex-a9 |
| 17:33.54 | utente | i get impression after initial success, allwinner is going into a cul-de-sac. |
| 17:34.22 | ssvb | btw, seems like cortex-a53 is going to be pretty good - http://www.anandtech.com/show/7591/answered-by-the-experts-arms-cortex-a53-lead-architect-peter-greenhalgh |
| 17:35.14 | ssvb | "Within the same pipeline length the design team focussed on increasing dual-issue, in-order performance as far as we possibly could. This involved symmetric dual-issue of most of the instruction set, more forwarding paths in the datapaths, reduced issue latency, ..." |
| 17:35.29 | ssvb | they did not mention NEON though |
| 17:36.22 | utente | if an arm soc requires a heat dissipartor, for me it is out. |
| 17:36.36 | ssvb | it looks like A53 got reworked quite a lot compared to A7, bringing back some of the A8 performance features like real dual-issue |
| 17:36.49 | ssvb | utente: have you tried undervolting A20? |
| 17:37.01 | ssvb | utente: how hot is it running for you? |
| 17:38.07 | utente | ssvb, i feel good with cubie (A10), i was interested in cubie2, but after i hear it need heat dissipator i said "no, thanks". |
| 17:38.23 | utente | so i didit buy cb2 |
| 17:38.42 | VargaD | cubie 1 can also be quite hot without a heat dissipator |
| 17:39.28 | utente | VargaD, if you stay at 1008-1104Mhz, temperature is - in my opinion - accettable. |
| 17:39.43 | ssvb | utente: oh, then I can tell you that a10 can also run quite hot if you really stress it |
| 17:40.06 | utente | ssvb, please, tell me your definition of "stress". |
| 17:41.37 | ssvb | utente: ron something like https://github.com/ssvb/cpuburn-arm on it, and also force mali and cedar do something at the same time |
| 17:41.43 | VargaD | I haven't overclocked my cubieboard, I haven't mesured the temperature, but it feels hot when I run android and some demanding 3D apps |
| 17:42.02 | VargaD | ssvb: even better to stress the cpu :) |
| 17:42.35 | ssvb | utente: the point is, the power consumption of modern SoCs is seriously non-uniform and depends on what you are doing with it |
| 17:43.10 | ssvb | utente: also you maybe have heard about turbo-boost, turbo-core and other similar buzzwords |
| 17:43.20 | utente | ssvb, if you ise specializerd soft to stress the cpu, then it will hotted. my experoience doenst go over desktop application and fideo reproduction (matriska format) |
| 17:44.09 | utente | i forced my CB1 till 1200Mkz, it runn stable (but in "desktop" evironment, i mena libreoffice, firefox, gmplayer, etc) |
| 17:44.30 | VargaD | I don't turn off my cubieboard and I can't check it's temperatore every minute, so I don't allow more than 600mhz till I can find a heat dissipator |
| 17:45.07 | mnemoc | VargaD: olimex is selling them for A10/A20 |
| 17:46.12 | VargaD | thanks, I tried to buy one in the local shops but they don't have such a small heat dissipator |
| 17:46.28 | ssvb | the thing that I like about A53 in that interview - "Cortex-A53 has been designed to be able to easily replace Cortex-A7. For example, Cortex-A7 supports the same bus-interface standards (and widths) as Cortex-A7 which allows a partner who has already built a Cortex-A7 platform to rapidly convert to Cortex-A53" :) |
| 17:46.36 | utente | ssvb, how to undervolt/overvolt A10? |
| 17:46.58 | utente | VargaD, you can cut off a dissipatori from recivled old mainboard |
| 17:47.06 | ssvb | utente: there is a cpufreq table in the kernel where you can tweak voltages |
| 17:47.06 | utente | recicled* |
| 17:47.30 | VargaD | hmmm, good idea I have some very old motherboards |
| 17:47.32 | utente | i kow i can chage cpufreq, not how to change voltage |
| 17:47.46 | utente | VargaD, u will save many bucks :) |
| 17:47.57 | ssvb | utente: but it always makes sense to check whether the changes have any effect by checking the current draw with a multimeter |

| 17:48.56 | ssvb | utente: you have cubie1, right? |
| 17:49.00 | utente | ok |
| 17:49.37 | utente | ssvb, yes |

| 19:14.21 | mnemoc | can you "emerge" stuff on using qemu-static ? |
| 19:17.24 | ssvb | mnemoc: qemu is slower than real hardware |
| 19:18.29 | ssvb | mnemoc: you can only probably match something like rpi performance with a decent x86 box |
| 19:19.28 | emx | ssvb, not sure about that. my axp run x86 progs quite well. |
| 19:20.29 | emx | wiki even honours the emulater ^^ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FX!32 |
| 19:21.04 | ssvb | mnemoc: though the things like scratchbox and maybe some other build systems allow to use a gcc crosscompiler running on x86 natively, while letting qemu handle the configure cruft |
| 19:21.42 | mnemoc | ssvb: ow |
| 19:22.06 | steev | yeah, qemu is slow |
| 19:24.49 | ssvb | emx: qemu is a universal solution which supports multiple cpu architectures, the other specialized emulators may be a lot faster |

| 20:07.07 | VargaD | is it in development? |
| 20:09.43 | mnemoc | there is no such SoC |
| 20:11.01 | VargaD | it would be nice to have an ARM A9 quad core on a cubieboard |
| 20:12.33 | mnemoc | there are nice i.MX6q boards, but the cubieboards use allwinner SoCs. |
| 20:12.45 | mnemoc | and allwinner doesn't have cortex-a9 |
| 20:14.12 | ssvb | mnemoc: i.MX6q is 1GHz only, that's slow nowadays |
| 20:14.37 | mnemoc | rk3188? :p |
| 20:14.56 | VargaD | that is quite powerful |
| 20:15.06 | ssvb | mnemoc: or maybe exynos4412 |
| 20:15.33 | VargaD | there are some usb flash drive sized RK8188 boards ot there |
| 20:15.37 | mnemoc | i think tom already shipped the pre-orders of his radxa rock board |
| 20:15.50 | mnemoc | but that's offtopic here |
| 20:16.04 | VargaD | odriod has quad core exynos boards |
| 20:16.42 | ssvb | yeah, odroid-u3 might be a tough competition for radxa, at least price wise |
| 20:17.30 | mnemoc | well, see it the other way around, the radxa rock made hardkernel people make a more reasonably priced board ;-) |
| 20:17.38 | mnemoc | competition is good |
| 20:18.00 | ssvb | true |
| 20:18.03 | VargaD | oh I have never heared about that board |
| 20:18.36 | mnemoc | ssvb: and the rock is far more feature rich than the odroid-u3 anyway |
| 20:19.06 | VargaD | but it does not have SATA :( |

| 20:19.38 | VargaD | :) |
| 20:20.16 | VargaD | I don't like using hard drivers on usb |
| 20:20.35 | VargaD | usually power management won't work well, and I can't query smart info |
| 20:21.01 | ssvb | I believe the only other interesting option with native SATA is i.MX6q |

| 20:29.32 | VargaD | where does this limit comes form? |
| 20:30.48 | steev | probably means that's what they tested |
| 20:31.45 | VargaD | maybe the android kernel can't handle the GPT partition, but as far as I know the kernel I build for my cubieboard should handle it |
