...why integrate 64-bit processor when there is no 64-bit support in OS, also why integrate quad core processor when there is no multicore support in OS. There is no space for unsued things in low-end product.
...Tabor is a very-low-end and low-cost AmigaOS4 (I hope also MorphOS) PPC configuration which is affordable for every Amigan to buy. It is also very powerfull because its faster that SAM460, dramatically faster if second core will be soon in use.
Why? Because I
want it, and it adds minimal cost.
And there will be uses for these in the future (hey, I'm optimistic).
Faster? Slightly
until the fpu issues are factored in.
And while it is dual core..."why integrate quad core processor when there is no multicore support in OS", so
why integrate a dual core.
You do know there are single core T10XX cpus, don't you?
...Of the 3 OS's OS 4.1 currently is the only one that works with any GPU acceleration. ..
But the actual playback under OS 4.1 is degraded because of the slower decoding...
Odd, degraded "because of the slower decoding...", why?
And you make it sound like AROS and MorphOS don't use GPU acceleration at all.
For decoding, true.
But for 2D and 3D graphics acceleration, untrue (although, MorphOS does not to implement that for the Radeon HD cards).
Anyway we now know that this bechmark as used to compare the
X1000 runing AmigaOS 4.1 to G4 Mac's runing MorphOS is not giving a balanced comparison.
Yes, comparing processors with significant differences is tricky.
Also, as MorphOS usual has a slight performance advantage on similar platforms, again, not a fair comparison.
What candy thing am I running ?
I thought everyone was clear that you are working with
Linux,
not OS4 (where you would find Candi).
