I'm having hard time finding real benchmarks for our Pandora's ARM Cortex A8. Does anyone know where we can get some real scores? Or would someone with a dev board be interested in providing some?

Let's port quake 3 and run the demo. There is your benchmark. It will be disappointing without architectural adaptation.
Cortex performance can be compared to Cortex performance at different clockspeeds. You won't get any useful numbers comparing to other chips an architectures. Cortex is unknown territory.

Fair enough... How can we do that? I don't have a dev board, though I'd be willing to attempt a port. My C is a little rusty but I used to be fluent... I've even written some toy software 3D renders in C about 10 years ago. God, I hate C! :wacko:

Someone already announced to do it, when the Pandora is shipped :) It is going to be a long boring time till end of november...
