I'll probably delete the partition or use it for windows 8 after this is over though. It's pretty annoying to try and get this to work with grub2. If i ever want to try again i'll probably just use WindowsAndroid. 02-01-2014, 05:29 AM
Old bumpage, but wondering if anyone has revisited this at all?
Nvidia has claimed their desktop and mobile gpus support open GL ES 3.0(but I cannot find since when). The PowerVR SGX545 that's found in the Intel Atom z2560 supports Open GL ES 3.0. Intel hd 2500 and hd 4000 series support Open GL ES 3.0. Intel HD 5000 series supports Open GL ES 3.0. Intel Iris Pro supports Open GL ES 3.0. There are more and more low voltage Atom tablets appearing out there, let's also not forget NUC.(NUC being an open system capable of running Android x86) 02-01-2014, 01:17 PM
But Atom is a terrible CPU that wouldn't have a hope of running Dolphin at a satisfactory speed.

Responding to your points in order.
Yes and no. Tegra 4 can't support GLES 3.0, K1 does. Desktop GPU does in linux but only for 32bit proessses. PVR5xx /doesn't/ support GLES3.0, just nearly all of the features and it can't be used. Intel HD 2500/4000/5000/Iris Pro all support GLES 3.0 and desktop GL in Linux so they'll run. 02-02-2014, 03:37 AM

The more recent atom platforms can match arm systems such as snapdragon 800. Atom has gone pretty far in performance over the past few years. Multi threaded, dual and quad core models, turbo core, new instruction sets found in sandy bridge CPUs. Avonton atoms are 8 core atoms that go up to 2.4 GHz in a 20w package. 02-03-2014, 02:44 AM
It's not hard to improve performance when you start with something that runs like a Pentium 2.
Regardless of what instructions they support and how many cores they have, they're still at a major disadvantage due to being in-order only. They're a bigger joke than Itanium was. 02-03-2014, 04:40 PM
BayTrail is 2 issue wide OoO (so still slower than a P2 in that regard). It also lacks AVX so x86 will replace Android in fragmentation jokes.

x86 has already been the king of that for a long time. FPU/MMX/MMX-EXT/3DNOW/3DNOW-EXT/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4/SSE4.1/SSE4.2/AVX/BMI1/BMI2/XOP/AVX2...

Since Atom has been released at 1.6 ghz and a much lower TDP, it's been right under Conroe and above Netburst in performance. Windows can also schedule these cores and threads with no issues or affect to performance. If these CPU's were a joke, they wouldn't be so far wide spread across the board being used for tablets, phones, notebooks, even thin client desktops. There is not a cpu on the market that can match performance under at least 20w that the Atom delivers. And Itanium wasn't really even an x86 cpu. |
