Marvell Discovery V Chipset
« on: October 18, 2005, 11:04:18 PM »
Marvell had announced new Discovery V Chipset for PowerPC CPUs:  Freescale G4 /MPC7447A/7448A and IBM750FL/GL.
The samples of the product will be availabe on First Quarter of 2006.

Link

"The Discovery V system controller integrates several I/O peripherals on-chip, including a DDR2 memory controller, a PowerPC CPU interface, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-X and PCI-E bridges, storage functions, and a USB 2.0 interface. The Discovery V is software compatible with legacy Marvell Discovery system controllers, preserving the customer’s software investment while accelerating development cycles."

Why doesn't Eyetech (or someone else) base an AmigaOne model on this chipset? It seems like everyone's beating themselves up looking for solutions to already solved problems. Genesi and Marvell are moving forward and we could be taking advantage of this ourselves, why arn't we?

PCI-Express will be a must very soon, so it's nice to see it secured.
