| As much as I yap about much faster x86 or ARM CPUs for AOS 4.x, I'm thrilled by this news. It's now a priority for me to get a new miggy this year, and the 800Mhz Flex is the leading contender. Only real competition is either a Peg2 or a nice classic machine.
Thanks, ACube!

Exactly my thoughts!

Probably just as long as the one on a micro, which for me is about 4 and a half year (still on my first battery!)

I agree. On a desktop system one can always use a faster CPU and more memory, and the Flex has both (who here hasn't laughed at "640KB should be enough for anyone"?) It doesn't matter how efficient AmigaOS is, applications are what really benefit from more MHz and MB. |

| L2 Cache is an expensive part of a CPU, the logic required to handle a relatively large (256k+) cache at efficient speeds is quite involved, and the 440 is an embedded CPU, so it's not so important there. Its bigger brother, the 460 does have L2 cache though. |
Xscale PXA 312 has 256KB L2 cache.
