Title: Au1100™ Processor From AMD
Post by: barryum on April 09, 2002, 03:08:15 AM
AMD today announced the introduction of the Alchemy™ Au1100™ processor, targeting the non-PC mobile internet appliance market, such as web pads, telematics, and PDAs. Currently being sampled, the innovative Au1100 offers an industry-leading combination of high performance, low power and high integration.

The Au1100 processor builds upon the successful Alchemy Au1 core, which is based on a MIPS32™ instruction set.

Does anyone know how hard it will be to make AmigaAnywhere work on this?   Intent will run on MIPS R3/4/5xxx according to Tao's info.

i am not an expert, but i think MIPS is almost a standart in the embeded market, so i don't think it will be very hard to make AA work on it. after all, many PDAs use MIPS, and AA works on many PDAs... but as i said i am not an expert so don't count on it :-)

I don't think that Intend pay any notice to what processor the system hasand if it does, I would belive that's it's only amatter of months before Amiga Inc has a updated Intend, that works with it. ;-)  ;-)
