Some of you mightlike to compare the Pyra with other devices.
Here is a compile speed test. I did not change any settings. Simply qmake and make.
I'm working on a Qt application for University. Here is how it compiles on my devices.
The competitors:
RasPi: Raspberry Pi 3
Pyra: Pyra clocked at 1GHz
core2Duo: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU @ 3.06GHz
i7: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GH
Test:
make-j x
x: Number of threads.
	
	
	
		
As you can see the Pyra is a lot slower than the Intel core 2 duo. That said I did upgrade my Laptop and that is the fastest mobile core 2 duo available.
With that in mind now I do not expect the Pyra any more to become as fast and responsive as my Laptops are.
Luckily we are faster than the Raspberry Pi3.
So you can see the OMAP5 is still faster than the more recent A53 cores.
I have now a Raspberry and it feels really slow compared to other devices. I did expect more. The Desktop is fluid but programs take log to load as well as websites do.
I'm looking forward to do such a comparison again with hopefully an A75 SOC board
If you want me to do some sped comparisons just let me know.
If there are not too much dependencies it might be fun to get some more numbers
BTW I'm a bit disappointed when comparing my two laptops. The core2duo is six years older than the i7 and the i7 is not even twice as fast...
