It's true, and and you see that on G4 benchmark numbers I found scoring way to hight due to a optimization in the compiler.
Any benchmark can only give you a idea of how what is going to be, but is not a real life benchmark, where other factors also count like graphics, your hard drives, and other things you have connected to it, beside the applications your running in background. _________________ http://lifeofliveforit.blogspot.no/ Facebook::LiveForIt Software for AmigaOS |

| Anybody dare to guess how much ram this board will support or would that be a blindfolded stab in the dark?
The requirement to run the standard programs isnt huge, but buying for the future etc. Last edited by Overflow on 14-Jul-2013 at 11:23 PM. Last edited by Overflow on 14-Jul-2013 at 11:22 PM.

You have 3 days to form your well thought out questions for the q/a with Trevor Dickinson. Just sayin'...

This looks more OS related, but I am sure hardware is quite well picked and again produced by Varisus
a) Do you expect AmigaOS 4.2 and OpenOffice and Timberwolf ports to be done by the time Cyrus will be availiable?
b) New board will set limit up to 16GB DDR3 RAM (X1000 has 8GB limit?) Do you expect AmigaOS to be able to use this kind of possibility?
c) Will Cyrus be fully supported (all onboard components, 3D graphic, 2 or 4 cores) by AmigaOS 4.2? First to break the spell of beta and partial supports
d) Is Cyrus Freescale CPU new ISA previously announced to be supported in AmigaOS 4.2?
e) Will there be more modern XMOS chip onboard (they have recently announced their quad cores, kind of) and what kind of uses do you expect? Will it ever be possible to add more programmable, DSP like, FPGA or similar chips via XORRO?
f) Since its expected that X2000/4000 will be available longer then X1000 (primarily the CPU choice of PA Semi in past) will we have longer and better PR campaign of "return of AmigaOne top model", and everything that looks like started back in 2010, but not done well enough

It's ok to post those here vox, but I just want to be clear that you realize no questions are being taken at/from AW. Only those submitted at the irc.
If you can not attend, you can ask someone to attend the q/a with your questions though. That would work.

To be honest, done have an IRC app anywhere and don`t know how the CET time zone fits the proposed chat time, so please be so kind (or any of the weekly attendees) to submit questions. Hope answers will be published here.
One more, in a positive manner

Now with a great driver, can we have onboard 7.1 sound as standard? Last edited by vox on 18-Jul-2013 at 05:57 PM.

Users choice if there is no onboard audio. If no drivers for new audio chipsets are in the works then existing drivers for 5.1 and 7.1 sound cards become important. There are quite a few options in the CMI8738 and Envy24/HT series of cards. Both PCI and PCIex1 .

Surely, but with such high end and costly boards it would be good to provide a standard and quality sound solution. Surely, everyone will pick what they need for PCI/PCI-E cards.
Cyrus is likely not use same soutbridge chip so there might be no sound onboard (we need to know this). But this is just manner of asking positive instead of negative (why there is no ... how you will ...) questions_________________ Future Acube and MOS supporter, fi di good, nothing fi di unprofessionals.

Niiice ... Was this made clear at any point ...
a) As with Nemo, the Cyrus Plus motherboard has been custom designed to run the latest version of AmigaOS 4 and will support multiple PowerPC Linux distri- butions. The board is pin compatible with several 64-bit Freescale QorIQCPUs including the P3 P3041, an e500mc quad-core CPU running up to 1.5 Ghz and the P5 series P5020, an e5500 dual-core running up to 2.0 Ghz. The P5040 quad-core CPU which operates up to 2.4 Ghz should also be compatible.
DOES THIS MEAN I CAN BUY CYRUS PLUS AND UPGRADE CPU LATER TO PPC64 x4 cores?

The CPU is surface mounted so it can't be upgraded but the 5020 is a good starting point and it should meet most people's needs for a while. I'd just get what's available first and sell it used later once the 5040 is ready. _________________ AlexC's free OS4 software collection

Since its all the same board, they could do some socket like MegaArray was.
I will use X1000 to death and buy quad core once everything is ready (OS 5?) _________________ Future Acube and MOS supporter, fi di good, nothing fi di unprofessionals. Learn it harder way! |

Hmmm - although Albert Einstein once predicted that dullness will prevail again and again, not everybody yet fell for the so-called 'social networks' and joined one of them.
I would never use a so-called 'social network' - especially not for business. 'Business' and 'social' in one sentence - LoL...
Can anyone enlighten me what the hell is so 'social' about mobbing a teenager until he commits suicide?
How can a network be 'social', if all anti-social beings in this world can have access to it?

Like with all tools, they can be misused or used to your advantage, be it buissniss or personal. Its not very "honest" taking the worst cases and turning that into evidence of how bad FB, twitter etc is. This holds true to most things.
I have friends/people I know that "must" update everyone about every single thing they do (facebook), and go out of their way to collect "likes", and then you have people like me that log onto it every now and then. It can be a serious timethief or just a tool to keep you up to date on whatever. I managed just fine without it, but it hasnt ruined my life since joining last year.
Ofcourse you COULD just keep track of things by making personal phonecalls, read websites or talk directly to people.
Many companies use FB to give newsfeed for example. Last edited by Overflow on 21-Oct-2013 at 02:54 PM.
