Steven,

Does the X5000 have the same Xorro + PCIe X1 slot setup?

Has there been any talks about a proper proto board for the slot?

Thank You.

Steve isn't needed to answer that, its got an 'X' prefix, so yes its got a Xena slot.

BTW Steve - We really are interested in getting some benchmarks on the X5000.
Looks to be the most capable PPC board thus far introduced for our market.

As for Tabor, the initial bench results (once OS4 runs on it) may be lower than could be generated once the fpu trapping/emulation software has matured.

AND, I want an X5000/040, so...

Benchmarks can be very misleading (and troll bait) so Hyperion usually steers away from providing any.

I'm sure the community will be running plenty of benchmarks which you guys can use to compare and contrast when the time comes.

 

Yes, I get that.
That is why I won't be judging Tabor on initial benchmarks.
Time should improve those.
