9860GII<>PRIZM<>AFX BASIC speed comparison
« on: March 15, 2011, 02:29:51 am »
On Planet-Casio, someone wrote a table comparing the speed between BASIC commands on the 9860GII, PRIZM and Casio's first flash calc series.

Basically a command is ran inside a For 1->Z to 999/For(Z,1,999 style loop and the table shows the amount of seconds it took to execute. It might be approximative in some cases, but it should give you an idea of how the speed compare between the 3 calc series.

I have no clue what is the with and without column thing, though.

Is this like Runer112's cycles table for Axe? Looks hard work.

Kinda, but not in clock cycles, more in amount of times an instruction executed per second. The AFX is the slowest of all, but it's older and has a much slower processor. It's a shame the Prizm isn't any faster than the 9860G, though...

It looks like the Prizm is slightly faster in math and much slower in everything else than the 9860gII. That's a shame, because it's probably the result of programming more than anything else.

Actually even in math it's slightly slower, according to this.

I don't know where I was looking then...

'tis a pity.
