I've now downloaded the patch and installed it without any problems. It only took about 20 min. to do the whole install. I never had to wait like others have. I've made a benchmarks chart and added the new scores to it along with the iPaq 2215 for comparison. All in all, the upgrade almost doubled the score for the Axim running PPC 2003.

Here's the link. http://server3001.freeyellow.com/ltr...0Axim%20X5.htm

very interesting thanks.

sorry dumb ass question: What does each number eqate to? The higher the better?

Theebag

Nice results , indeed . Looks like the axim is now flying with the patch , fastest cpu result . Nice

The 2215 is smoking the Axim on the graphics part of the benchmarks, and 7-8% better overall score. The Axim does do better on some individual benchmarks. Wonder what framerate the Ax will get in PocketQuake?

It should be noted at this point that the 2215 is a new PPC designed around the PXA 255 and WM 2003. While the Axim was retrofitted with the PXA 255 and has only now begun to use WM 2003. I think that given these facts, the Axim does very well in those benchmarks.

I think so, too. I also believe that in everyday use there will zero perceptible difference in performance between the two units. Especially since the Ax has a better CPU index.

I'm still curious to know its performance in PocketQuake. For years Quake performance (or one of the sequels) has been a popular benchmark for graphics cards on the PC. It's a good way to get a "tangible" feel for the performance of a device as opposed to the sterile numbers of an artificial benchmark.

Excellent stats!

Have you considered adding benchmarks for SD card read/write and CF access?

I've seen reports that the patch has done nothing to address those. But it does look like the built-in memory drivers have been overhauled.

what was the CPU setting of the A05 Axim? Max, Normal, Powersave, Auto?

Jer

Much better!!!

If this upgrade is just a beta, maybe see even better stats with a final release?

It's on Max so the bus would run at 200Mhz. When it's on Auto or Normal it only runs at 100Mhz.

That's a good idea seeing as I have a 1GB CF card and it takes forever for some programs to read it.

Edited: Please do not discuss distribution of the patch for the moment. The only place to legally obtain a copy is directly from Dell, and it has been pulled from Dell's site. Any other source for the update is not a legal source, so please do not discuss it on Aximsite. Thanks for understanding. --deftech

Awesome, thanks for the results.
