Legoland 1000 is a new motherboard based on AMCC processor
Titan 1000 at 2 GHz.
The motherboard has a bright red PCB and components are
colored the same way to make it stand out even more ahead
all other motherboards.
In addition to AMCC's Titan processor, motherboard mounts the Northbridge
AMD 785G and SB710 Southbridge that provide full support for
the new cpu and support SATA2 3GB / s.
The old SB600 instead had a problem that was generated from the randomly
SATA ports.
layout 1Legoland 1000 has a layout very well built and is very beautiful to
see.
The motherboard has a PCI-Express x16 (all pci-express in legoland 1000
motherboard are in the specification 2.0), 1 x PCI-Express x4,
two-port PCI 2.2 and PCI-Express x1.
As for the memories, the motherboard only has 3 slots.
The slot Blue supports Lego DDR3 (1066 and 1333 not unlockable), while
yellow slots support Lego DDR2 (667, 800 and 1066).
You can't buy the memories at the best Lego computer stores, but are
only available at Star Justice.
The audio is integrated and uses the chip HD LEGO Tek, but not currently
works as Eyetech tradition.
layout 2It will be available 6-port SATA2 3Gb / s, 8 USB 2.0 ports and also
1 USB 3.0 port.
layout 3From the picture you see that these ports are still missing, but how easy to
see, their assembly is very simple.
The port USB3 is managed by Playmobil chip, a chip that has been
specially designed for the card Legoland 1000.
AMCC in collaboration with Star Justice has made
preliminary drivers management processor, Lego DDR3 memory
and Lego DDR2 and drivers for PCI standard and PCI-Express video cards.
The operating system used for testing is Linux, the One OS
PowerPC that runs on the board pending an agreement with
Hyperion or MOS-Team.
Bench CPUThe test in question is a port of Linux of Super Pi and shows that
the new Titan 1000 is much more powerful version of the old one and very
even more powerful than the 460EX at 1.15 GHz.
The AMCC Titan 1000 integrates a GPU
to increase CPU performance in rendering in the encoding
audio and video, but also in video games.
How does it work?
This is the QuickSync, a hardware feature that allows you to use
the integrated GPU to perform calculations with the cpu.
In this version of SuperPi optimized in this regard is seen
well.
The QuickSync works only on this model AMCC.
In future releases, the AMCC Titan 2000 always at 2 Ghz, you can use
the integrated GPU instead of the PCI-Express.
If you using a PCI-Express video card will not be able to benefit
the integrated GPU.
bench VideoStar Justice here has tried the Linux drivers for PCI-Express
and PCI standard.
They have also tried an nVidia card, the model Fermi 430.
The performance is very good and the new CPU bodes well for AMCC
(At least from the tests on Linux).
Star Justice would be very reluctant to issue and help Hyperion
to port the new drivers for Radeon cards that are PCI and
PCI-Express and also provide support, for the first time, in nVidia cards.
The card comes with a revolutionary tool that looks like
an exhaust pipe, but it is a connector to be connected to
electric line for the manual and automatic control of expenditure and then
save the money.
What will it cost?
It 's a new tab and hyper technology, a new version
AMCC's Titan 1000 processor with integrated GPU, a fast cache
L1 and L2, a powerful Northbridge and a good Southbrige.
Star Justice Legoland 1000 will cost about £ 2000, as the components
PCB's are very expensive and difficult to find.
Playmobil and Lego pieces are proof that research and
progress are improving significantly the market for PowerPC and perhaps
even the Amiga.
Star Justice has prepared the
first promo video of Legoland 1000 and the
project steps of this board
