Today's 'New Scientist' reports that Intel's next generation processor dubbed 'Vanderpool' will allow PC's to run multiple operating systems simultaneously using a small and efficient 'hyper-OS' described as a 'miniature operating system built for robustness and simplicity' (sound familiar?)


It’s Intel’s attempt to nullify the X86 boat anchor (for IA-64’s interest). Probably, related to FX32 technology.

For example;
Mini-OS with FX32 CPU driver for X86-32 >> IA-64.

I wonder how fast it would be in running DirectX/X86 games…  Answer: probably crap (due to the old FX32 experience).

Emulating bloated software would be taxing than emulating efficient AmigaOS software...
Amiga 1200 PiStorm32-Emu68-RPI 4B 4GB.
Ryzen 9 7900X, DDR5-6000 64 GB, RTX 4080 16 GB PC.
