PPC vs x86, Intel vs AMD, believe me folks I´d like to see PPC rule the market, but this looks like x86 is here to stay. I think it´s interesting to see what will be tomorrow, even if it has little to do with Amiga today.
Yes, I know that GHz isn´t everything, but that´s a *lot* of GHz to make up for with superior (?) architecture...
From Heise Online:
"In the early morning, shortly after 8 AM local time, [Intel] presented a prototype of a 0.13µm Pentium-4 (Northwood), which - shortly - ran at 3.5 GHz.
On average, the IDF record breaking CPUs reach the market after roughly a year. The 2 GHz type that started production yesterday was also presented as a prototype on last year´s IDF. So we can expect the 3.5 GHz Pentium 4 in late summer 2002. In general, so Otellini, the architecture can be scaled up to 10 GHz."

Pentium IV Prototype at 3.5 GHz : Comment 29 of 41 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kjetil on 29-Aug-2001 22:00 GMT | SCSI ride systems, you can double the speed or the security, depending on what you wont
or even booth, count the number of harddrivers you can have on the SCSI chan and count the number of IDE drivers you can connect, this fact is important. If you own a large computer company. you can do the same with ATA if you have a ATA ride system, butt the number of harddrivers is as equaly inportent interms of GB storage,
As for boot time, my computer boot slower the any Amiga, even Amiga 500,
do not count standby, as standby is not booting.
Delays to show the Riva TNT 2 billboards,
scanning the IDE bus,
Memory count,
floppy driver seek, and so on. (optional)
delays to show the Adaptec SCSI billboards, (optional and the hot keys)
scanning the SCSI bus,
delays to show the installed option list,
(verifying DMA pool data, what is this one),
and delays on the lilo (Linux boot loader optional)
and then the OS finely load all it drivers (again).
then the OS do a new SCSI / IDE scan to se
if the driver loaded correctly and to se if the drivers exists.
This is relay about PCI plug and play v.s. Zorro autoconfigure TM.
On zorro bios and driver is the same ting, (not if you load Linux, uses it own drivers)
Amiga boot:
Run Kickstart (run aga/ecs gfx driver)
Do zorro bus, and add librarys, devices to library database (driver loaded)
Do an IDE scan (wait until ide scan is financed)
Do floppy seek if (bootpri has a grater number the IDE drivers)
(Read hard drive, Load not loaded drivers, and patches.) |
