    True - and the Ford 5.0 is the practical choice and a good one at that - all the parts should be close enough to a bolt-in, and I always wondered by Ford never did this with the Ranger - a mini-Lightning truck with a HO engine...
     
    If one wants to do Chrysler - there is only one choice - the leaning tower of power - Slant Six 225 with the PowerPak - for the win on the weird side...
     


    Ford is doing a Ranger Raptor.

    I had a '66 Plymouth Valiant with a slant six, it was indestructible (almost).

    I'm also interested in seeing how the H2 does against the N2. Also power consumption while maxed out interests me in both. Until now the NanoPC T3+ has the lead in horsepower per watt for me(I need to retest that with HZ=250 too). I think the N2 can beat it.
    But time enough for that. Take good care of each other. May everything be well and safe for your son. 

     

    I have the means to see power usage, as time and situation permits I will test this as well.

     

    Thanks for the kind words.

    I wish you and your family the best that your son recovers soon. Just ignore all wishes from other users as long as you've more important issues.
    Thanks@chwe it's appreciated. I just read the forum to keep my mind busy instead of worrying, anyone that has spent much time in a hospital likely knows what I mean.

    [mention=8966]rooted[/mention] Are you willing/able  to do some more tests with a fan?(sbc-bench/blender) I also wonder if Blender would work at 2Ghz, it crashes quickly on unstable systems.
    We've seen on your 2Ghz SBC-Bench that CPUMiner didn't work either.
     


    My son is in the hospital right now so I won't be able to test anything.

    That indeed also makes a big difference. How do I know if it's CONFIG_HZ=250 or not? I imagine all my tests were with CONFIG_HZ=1000 since it's a new setting.

     

    The stock N2 kernel is running at CONFIG_HZ=250 so this is what my BMW benchmark was using.

     

    It's not a new setting, it's been around for a long time.

    You have the ability to perform an N2 check with Blender (which you have already done), but with as many kernel maximum frequency settings as you can get ? A prerequisite is an excellent cooling system with a guaranteed maximum temperature from the N2 sensors, throughout the test, no higher than 60-65 degrees. The cooling system and the surrounding conditions are entirely at your choice, passive or active with or without an additional fan, i.e. any option without limitation.
    I ran the BMW benchmark at stock frequencies, I haven't ran it overclocked and my AC was off.

    I'll look for a 12V power bank for it so I can use it everywhere.

     

    It accepts 7.5V ~ 20V according to the specs, powering with a battery pack shouldn't be an issue default_wink.png

     

    This range makes it perfect for automotive use, such as a CarPC.

    At what frequencies did you run this test? 1.8-1.9Ghz or 2-2Ghz? That's rather important to know.
    At the stock frequencies, it would throttle if overclocked I'm guessing.

    I was quite pleased how quickly it rendered the scene.

    I also checked the gimp functionality, it works really well and renders plug-ins such as iWarp on large images quickly. The performance of the N2 doesn't disappoint, especially considering the retail price. I was very sceptical when I learned it was Amlogic based but they really upped their game with this package, it will be a popular SoC in the coming months.

    PS test Results under air conditioning - a good example of how you can (if desired) to organize any "correct" tests.


    The first test was done with the AC off.

    The location of my devices happens to be where an AC vent blows from the ceiling, nothing I can do about that really...

    It seems something went wrong with cpuminer.

    In 7-zip it now runs at 533% core use vs 543% last time, while it's still 6% faster. But it's also about 8C cooler with the OC while running multicore 7zip. Did you change anything else except the OC(fan)?
     

    My air-conditioning was on and blowing on the device.

    cpuminer crashed I believe at the end

    I would run it NicoD but the device is headless currently, when I get around to installing the necessary packages to get the UI up I can render the scene and give you the statistics.

    I'm running sbc-bench with the cores mildly overclocked, will post those results when finished.

    I'm running sbc-bench on the N2 right now, will share the results when finished.

     

    I did have to alter the script in order for it to run, there is a process called (vdec-core) which is using 4% of a core and throwing off the load average.

     

    (I do not have any external storage attached)
