It's late December, dude.

Care to share with us some updates?

How OS4.2 is progressing?
How OpenGL is progressing?
SMP?
Multicore?
A-eon Cyrus?
Acube news?

Other nice news?

What else in the cauldron?

Assuming latest post-Update6 updates were centered around GFX parts of the OS and updated Warp3D was mentioned by ssolie, Warp3D for newer RadeonHD cards could be released soon (when it is done).

Quote:

OS4.2/OpenGL/SMP/Multicore

Probably not sooner than in Q4/2013.

Quote:

A-eon Cyrus?

My crystal ball says it will be released for betatesters in Q3/2013.

Quote:

Acube news?

MorphOS for A1-500 is not enogh?

@AmigaBlitter

People are home probably enjoy a glass or two with their family, some working their asses of to come to do right that :)

EDIT:

Acube working on fixing some audio driver problems for sam460s.

@AmigaBlitter

>SMP?Multicore?

Is the kernell guy back at work or still healing?

>A-eon Cyrus?

not untill the last x1000 batch is sold out. Is it?

(would not be surpriced if the kernell guy already has a-eon next HW at his hands ... for 4core testing)

>Acube news?
-A1-500+ was in the works, no news since summer I think.
-ACube has MPC6810 stirring at their labs, but no public news. (better get all SAM PCIe drivers finalized first etc, kernell guy needed, again?)

When was the estimated release date of Warp3D for RadeonHD?


For new years eve, we could use another teaser. ...

@pavlor

this post was really good. It should be outdated now: http://blog.hyperion-entertainment.biz/?cat=18

Maybe some progress has been made. Would be great to have other screenshots.

Now i shout out another request: is there any os 4.2 screenshot available/leaked?

Better run to the south-pole and get eaten by polar-bear

A-eon Cyrus ??

A1-500 ??

MPC6810 ??

What is all this about ?
Did I miss out on something ?

No, you haven't. The fact is that we have hear to little about it, actually.

A-eon Cyrus

Codename of some project of A-Eon.

Highly probably motherboard based on e500/e5500 SoC

See this video at 15:40

Quote:

A1-500

Old news. AmigaOne branded SAM460EX (ACube sells them more than year).

Quote:

MPC6810 ??

ACube posted here on AW Blender benchmark results of 8610 1066 MHz board, maybe successor for SAM460EX?

Quote:

Only rumours.

@AmigaBlitter

More interesting question:

How many penguins does the average polar-bear eat per day ?

well ... it depends on what penguin!

@pavlor

and
A1-500+ was talked about by ACube last summer on italian forum.
They say it would be only minor (performance?) update to SAM460 based A1-500. ?

and the e500 core hinted was e500mc, actually. (full FPU but no L2)

To me it sounded like e500mc @ 1.5Ghz, multicore would be on the a-eon next motherboard product.
e5500 (P5 based?) is "reserved" for future super high end (expensive) model.

"Only rumours."

and teaser(s).


btw. I hope Amigans have learned the important lesson by now:
If you want to try new Amigalike system, get one of them now, do not wait for the next, it might never come.
And. If we do not get current ones (&support authors), there will not be next ones.

P3041 has 128 L2 cache and 1 MB platform cache.

Quote:

Both P3041 (four e500mc cores) and P5020 (two e5500 cores) are pin compatible. They can probably even use the same motherboard!

@pavlor

I meant full FPU but no Altivec.



+ I think I read or heard Trevor say that current x1000 batch will be the last one planned.
+ What's the status of current batch? I see that ordering is still possible.

@pavlor

Well, if you did a LOT of trickery and had a BUNCH of stuff extra you could use both in the same motherboard, but you'll hardly find ANY valid SERDES config that will work on both chips.

What moron at Freescale came up with THAT idea I'm not even sure I want to know.

The P4080 has a third set of valid configurations not compatible with either of the other two families.

I might come up with an example later.

@Kronos

If you want polar bears at the south pole you have to bring them yourself as they live on the north pole. That´s why they eat exactly zero penguins a day.

@olegil

well, had another look through the reference manuals for P3041 and P4080, the options for the P3041 are awesome while the P4080 sucks dead rats through garden hoses ((TM) and (C) Joanne Dow).

Best mode I've found for desktop use of P3041: PCIe x4,x4,x1,x1, 3x GbE and 2x SATA, plus a high-speed debug port.

For the P4080, you can't have less than a double-channel debug port, and you always get 10GbE. So best mode seems to be PCIe x2,x2,x2, 2xGbE and 2x10GbE plus dual-lane high-speed debug. No SATA, not enough PCIe.

Seems the P5020 is far closer to the 3041, though. So a 3041/5020 shared design is plausible. Sorry for the lengthy rant before coming to agreement

@thread

No info on the software side? I would like to see an os 4.2 screen grab, if any.
And opengl, of course
