Post by: adz on November 30, 2010, 11:12:55 PM
64bit ARM with multicore (http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20101124221552_64_Bit_ARM_Chip_Design_in_the_Works_Report.html)

About time we got multicore!

Of course it is, all we need is for someone to recode the kernel and recompile it, sure you could do it! Besides, the 64bit component is news enough, no more 4GB barrier!

Expect that A1 of yours to be replaced with a 64bit ARM powered AROS box anytime soon!

Well, there's already a 64-bit intel box that sometimes runs hosted AROS in the same room. I even let them play together on the network.
