For the graphic cards, I wanted to test the VGA king Matrox Mystique (1996) but also the three milestones of the graphic hardware accelerators, Rendition Verite (1996), 3dfx Voodoo (1996), and SLI 3dfx Voodoo2 (1998). I was also curious to measure how AGP (1997) helped the software renderer vs a PCI card.
Performance and power efficiency starts with good branch prediction. Arm knows this, and X925 doesn’t disappoint. Its branch predictor can recognize extremely long repeating patterns. In a test with branches that are taken or not-taken in random patterns of increasing lengths, X925 behaves a lot like AMD’s Zen 5. AMD’s cores have featured very strong branch predictors since Zen 2, so X925’s results are impressive.
