Again which benefits the Tabor brings to OS4?

This fully depends on final price, which we don´t know yet...

@NutsAboutAmiga

Sam still in production?

Production never ended (officially), but no new SAMs available now.

@pavlor

Tabor is obviously designed as successor for Sam 460 because the processor used in Sam 460 is no longer in production if I read it correctly. We will see how price and performance will be when AOS 4.X really runs on it and applications/games can be tested and people can really buy it. I do not assume that this will be before next year.

@Massi

New hardware as opposed to no new hardware .

New hardware that performs (FPU) worse than older

why must new always be better?

He wrote available buyable hardware versus no hardware except used hardware

@Spectre660

That's not really an argument, the OS4 h/w "market" is already pretty saturated.

I'm glad we agree on something.

Well, at least its upgrade path from Sam440 users, who like get Radeon HD card, if you have really old AmigaONE-SE / XE or Pegasus II, I'm not so sure, if you have the money the X5000 is the better buy.

Surely emulation performance will be better on OS4 than one made by incompetent people for linux, because people working for Freescale know F all about said CPU.

@Rose

Unless you spend a year or five writing a JIT compiler, I don't think so.
Its just better to recompile programs, the programs that is CPU demanding are mostly ported over from Linux anyway, not saying that there might not be native AmigaOS programs that require CPU power too, but it’s the ported programs like Web, Media players, and 3D rendering that is most demanding, then there is games.

is it like %s for string?

It's even worse, the CPU is designed for embedded purpose, that's why Freescale don't care about FPU compatibility.

@NutsAboutAmiga

Nope.... Sarcasm

@Rose

LOL

If can just stop writing words, and only use @#!!, and /s, T, It B so NC.

Linux kernel emulation is generic. a one solution fits all Powerpc cpus that require any or all FPU instructions to be emulated .Even the Sam460ex has some emulation under Linux .
Cyborg has stated that the first AmigaOS solution would be a basic trapping one and future ones would be based on a jit type solution .

It is possible under Linux to get the emulation stats .
http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=40994&forum=33&start=60&viewmode=flat&order=0#780342
even with all these emulated instructions the Tabor was performing faster under Linux than a Sam460ex under Linux .

Maybe you are right.
Is That is why Mac OS X is so much faster than MorphOS on the same hardware .
