So what is XMOS good for?

[yssing]

Haywirepc >> I think I remember a thread about not doing drugs..

PowerPC is so far from dead. Its true that the consoles mentioned, PS3, Xbox, Wii are a few years old, but they all uses PowerPC¨, they are still being made, and you get a lot of power, very cheap.

IBM uses PowerPC in some of their servers.

But I guess, that its easy to claim that PPC is dead, when your agenda is to have AOS4.1 on X86. Go buy the iMica, its cheap, its AOS, sort of, and its X86..

@all I can definetly see some very good uses of the xmos. Like integrated robotics interface, advanced gate controller plus lots more. I am sure its some thing the company I hope to start can use.

I am excited about this.. honestly..

I am very tired of reading all thsi negative stuff over and over againg.
A saying gose some thing like: "if you have nothing nice to say, dont say anything"

What does integrated robotics or advance gate controller have to do with end users and their desktops?  Or for that matter on a pure hobby level, why wouldn't USB be enough for a hobby robotic controller?

I am just telling you what I can see it used for.

Instead of being so extremely negative and shooting down every positive thing there is to say. BTW its very hard to have a debate with that attitude..

But please tell me what kind of mobo you, thats all you nay sayers, would have come up with?

I dont know what CPU it will use, I dont know the  price, so I would not say its under powered and way to expensive.
