AwebPPC released : Comment 194 of 221 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 18-Jun-2002 22:45 GMT | In reply to Comment 175 (Samface): Hyperion claims that the feature set for OS4 is frozen. I have no reason to doubt that this is more or less true. So yes, we can compare features because we know what features are in OS4 and we certainly know what features you'd get from a PPC Linux distribution put together for the same hardware.
I don't have all week to argue with the ANN trolls, so let's pick one feature at random.... AHI
Back in 2001 Fleecy claimed of AHI in OS4 "The Audio system will be the best of any system out there", but while it was a revolution for the Amiga in 1996 by today's standards it's a poor system even when compared with the offerings on Windows. AHI's chief architect isn't even working on the OS4 system, he has no PPC machine to test it with.
AHI does have interrupt based audio, but it doesn't have decent latency (indeed the documentation contains stern warnings against trying for 10ms or less latency with AHI) and it forces on the user linear interpolation and no dither. Maybe '030 users appreciate the small saving in CPU cycles, but such compromises will seem foolish on a 600MHz G3. There's also no sensible routing for audio, even in the unlikely event that someone produces a good modular synth for AOS4 and a nice HDR app you won't be able to route incoming sound through the synth to the HDR. Oh well, at least it will work in Linux. |
