[ Show youtube player ]

For those that don't want to watch the whole vid here's the quick setup:

1- File-Load Scene-Benchmarks folder-choose Raytrace scene
2- Camera Panel- set to low resolution- set to square pixels
3- click Render or hit F9

So ran the youtube benchmark in WinUAE on i7 9750H 1m 47s (107 seconds)

It should do it a lot faster, I can do 95sec on a Raspberry Pi 4B+.

You where right! Apparently I had set it to -50% cpu.

New test yielded 46sec

Quite impressive speed for the Pi 4B+ though.

EDIT: Newer version of WinUAE gave a small speedboost, and now render the scene at 40sec

How?
The absolute fastest 68k emulation a pi4 can achieve is using emu68 on a pistorm, which gives about 5 minutes and 50 seconds on a pi4b+ overclocked to 2.2ghz.

[Solskogen]

I just use Amiberry and overclock the Pi to 2.2GHz. Jit is on, ofc.

[Korban]

Even emu68 on a pi4@2.2ghz is only ~%25 as fast as your result, but emu68 is significantly faster than the cpu emulation core in Amiberry, and Amiberry emulates an entire system as well, which eats into cpu resources, so I still dont understand how you're getting these results.
At about 700mips and 225mflops (which is what a pi4@2.2ghz gives on Amiberry according to sysinfo) a result of 95 seconds is impossible.

[Solskogen]

According to sysinfo I get 930Mips and 237 Mflops.

Thanks to all that posted their times/ system info so far & keep em coming

Just for fun:

A1200/Vamp v2 Coffin56/Gold2.12fw - 1526s (25m 26s)
Amiga4000D 3.2.1 WarpEngine060@96MHz - 1477s (24m 37s)
Vampire V4SA+ Coffin57/SA_8435.jic (x14) - 1405s (23m 25s)
Amiga4000T 3.2.1, BFG9060@100MHz - 1358s (22m 38s)
A1200/PiStorm32 w/Pi4b+ @2.2GHz.CaffeinOS - 166secs
X5000/20 2GHz MorphOS 3.18 - 119secs

MACPRO5,1 2010 2x3.5GHz 6core. FSUAE/Coffin on BigSur - 80secs
SGI FUEL 800MHz / IRIX 6.5.30f - 65s (62 without render preview turned on)
SGI 4x1GHz (1 THREAD) - 53s (50s no preview)
SGI 4x1GHZ (MAX THREADS) - 15s (14s no preview)

RAYTRACING is really heavy on FPU load, also that scene has a lot of 'edges' for antialiasing, especially with the Adaptive Samples set to 8. (I usually use 16 or 32)

Interesting Fuel and Tezro results @jkdsteve, thanks for including
