    Pandora Sgx Driver Benchmarks

    well, he could always make it render at some ridiculous resolution in a secondary render target and then downsample for the framebuffer ; ) as the psp cannot handle textures bigger than 512^2, pandora can easily beat that 3x ; )

    Pandora Sgx Driver Benchmarks

    exactly. the machine gives more than enough oomph at its nominal performance levels, let's not give the impression you need to go 'above 900' to get anything useful out of it. on a performance tangent, here's something some of you may find interesting: Eigen (a top-notch vector math lib)...

    Pandora Sgx Driver Benchmarks

    hey, Pickle, thanks! nice things in the 1.1 'freezer' there ; ) i'm surprised they went to such lengths with some things, given their focus is surely elsewhere (ie with 2.0).

    Pandora Sgx Driver Benchmarks

    thanks, notaz! EGL 1.4 - woot! i'm an EGL toddler but i already have strong preferences toward the latest version : ) yes, as Adventus mentioned, a gl context is needed for the ES part. i could send you some code that does all the housekeeping, but i have no idea what the native pixmap/surface...

    Pandora Sgx Driver Benchmarks

    niiice! would a kind soul provide the outputs from eglQueryString(EGL_EXTENSIONS) and glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) with the new drivers, please?

    Frying An Arm Chip

    i guess i should clarify my position here. i'm not so much bothered by the warranty/overclocking prospects - warranties just need to be reasonable, and people can knock themselves out with overclocking (likely outside of said warranty). and re the warranty, as long as it allows the user to...

    Frying An Arm Chip

    well, i was referring to random crashes that can be attributed to some state of overdrive (as in 'software X crashes at 600@OPP3, but does not at 500@OPP3'). yes, i'm aware that even that can be a software problem, but there are conditions where the source of the issue can be positively...

    Overclocking Test On An Cortex A8 Processor

    wuwtk, nice initiative there. just a remark, though: until you know how & from where the temperature is reported on the droid, don't try any bold tests. the t ranges given by TI in the spec sheet are all measured 'at junction' - that means by this analytical procedure - your droid's t report...

    Frying An Arm Chip

    to my knowledge, it's the same chip fabrication process. all the difference comes from the speed binning - a post-factum process where each die gets tested before being place in the respective clock bin. a customer-vendor agreement (as the one between OP and TI) is based on the rating provided...

    Frying An Arm Chip

    well, i thought the meta-rant nature of my post was going without saying. that said, i don't see how 'random crashes' and 'warranty' are so much unrelated, to the point of warranty being exclusively a matter of bricking alone. imagine the following scenario: while the majority of pandora owners...

    Frying An Arm Chip

    i hate to sound like somebody who has to bring common sense to a thread, but: the clocking of VLSIs has been about realiability. or IOW, your bits meeting expectations, doing exactly what they're support to do while traversing the circuit. i grin each time somebody comes up with 'what's the...

    The Last Appstore Thread

    to name the marketplace of panodora anything but agora, would be blasphemous (and some hellenistic gods can be rather vengeful).

    Pandora About Floating Point On The Pandora

    1. there's a significant performance penalty compared to a properly-pipelined FPU. whether that'd be a deal breaker for you depends entirely on what you intend to do. 2. depends on the processor you compare A8's VFP to. most mobile-class CPUs are not exactly FP monters, anyway. the best such CPU...

    So, Erm.. About Those Silk Screens

    ok, i disclaim all responsibility for the consequences of this thread. i also express my sincere apology if there was such a thread recently (feel free to yell at me if so). hereupon i ask a simple technical question, though: is it possible to get a pandora without the silk screen? (why? blame...

    Nintendo Loses Flashcart Legal Battle!

    and i would rather play all games on a console. i guess that justifies them now, doesn't it? also, i'm all for open platforms as the next guy, but why for the love of pete should closed platforms be forbidden? if vendor X decided they did not want unauthorized code on their hw they have all the...

    "open" Pandora?

    i'm not quite sure if i'm reading your right here, but if you imply that the lineage you listed would tangibly help with a potential OSS support of the sgx530 in the pandora, you're in for a surprise - aside from the tile-based scene-capturing nature shared among all, the SGX is a real...
