They are right.
I have performed some additional measurements with other multiplier/divider settings Previous values with CSB=166MHz > >> With the MPC8313 I get a significantly lower value: > >> mpc8...@250mhz 12500fps > >> mpc8...@333mhz 14500fps > >> mpc8...@416mhz 15500fps (333MHz type, overclocked) New value with CSB=200MHz (overclocked) mpc8...@400mhz 17500fps This indeed indicates that the CSB is the limiting factor. Until a few days ago I have not even been aware of the CSB being a performance critical component. All of the nice powerpoints explaining the processors and used for comparing different families shown by the Freescale Rep include the core frequencies and the DRAM interface and frequency but do not even mention the CSB... > > Note: the IXP42x uses an internal bus speed of 133MHz and operates > > at frame rates similar to the 8343... > > It is possible, IXP42x has the differenet SoC architecture with 83xx. That is very true indeed, then XScale (ARM) based IXP42x does have a completely different implementation. Best regards, Lutz -- Dr.-Ing.
