A 16MHz TT without FastRAM would achieve the same
CPU performance of a Falcon in a low-colour resolution:
Integer Division: 49%
Float Math: 98%
RAM access: 84%
ROM access: 64%
with the reference being a Standard TT without FastRAM.
(I have my Falcon's FPU clocked at 32MHz, hence the 98%)
Since your TT is much closer to 100% of the 32MHz TT
reference, i'm pretty sure it's mostly the lack of FastRAM
that is not taken into account well by GEMbench.
One more note: All TTs have an FPU since System IV
required one.
NEMbench was part of the Nemesis software kit. I can
probably send it to you by email if you like. I never tried
it on a TT though ...
I don't know whether there's any retailers left in the U.K.
besides Atari Workshop, so i don't know where to get
a FastRAM board ... or a graphics card. They are far too
expensive for me anyway :-)
