FWIW, I just received a PXA255 from Amazon also.

It would be interesting to see the Dhrystone benchmark for 5600s with the PXA255 that still have the original ROM that they were shipped with. I have a feeling they are being shipped with the crippled kernel.

Get the Dhrystone binary here: http://laurent.lieben.free.fr/zaurus_kernel/dhry21
Copy it to your Z, make sure it is executable and run it with 50,000,000 iterations (may take a couple of minutes) and then post the contents of the file dhry.res that is created in the current directory.

A 5600 with a PXA255 should get something like the following if it is running at full speed:
Microseconds for one loop: 2.5 (The lower the better)
Dhrystones per second: 400.0 (The higher the better)
VAX MIPS rating: 230 (The higher the better)

Ok, that\'s somewhere in between what I was expecting. Don\'t know what Sharp has or has not enabled/disabled in the default PXA255 5600 ROM then. But that is slower than a PXA250 5600 with the bug workaround turned off in the kernel. I think someone else posted Dhrystone results from a PXA255 5600 using the latest Special kernel and that gave the same results as a PXA250 5600 with the same kernel.

Any idea of the results for the PXA250? Or an overclocked 250/255 for that matter?

Been posted plenty of times, but a PXA250 5600 using the Special kernel, with no overclocking gets about:

Microseconds for one loop: 2.5
Dhrystones per second: 400.0
VAX MIPS rating: 230

With overclocking at 471MHz the PXA250 5600 gets about:

Microseconds for one loop: 2.1
Dhrystones per second: 471.0
VAX MIPS rating: 270

Ok.. I found a post that had different results for with and without VNC server running... does this make a difference for the standard kernel?

Running processing that constantly consume CPU cycles will always affect benchmarks.

I just got my 5600 from Amazon--about 2 hours ago.  I\'m doing the initial charge right now.  My box says it has the PXA255.  I paid $289, but I sprang for one day shipping.  I wanted it before the weekend so I could play!

On a PXA255 SL5600
This result from original Sharp 1.32 kernel

Register option not selected.
Microseconds for one loop:     2.8
Dhrystones per second:   351741.1
VAX MIPS rating:    200.194

This result from Standard pre-emptive kernel 1.2

Dhrystone Benchmark, Version 2.1 (Language: C)
Register option not selected.
Microseconds for one loop:     2.8
Dhrystones per second:   352559.6

How is the \'255 better than the \'250?

Faster? Better battery life? bigger cache?
Does anyone have any data on this?

OK. I would also join the Zaurus users by buying SL5600 from Amazon, regardless what the CPU would be. From what I looked around this website (and others), there seems to be no serious problems of using PXA250. What are the issues anyway? Any pointer?
