Now available is the first CPU upgrade card for the Pegasos. Taking advantage of the flexible, expandable and open architecture, Genesi is delivering a G4 upgrade card to take your computing experiences to the next level!
Pegasos G4 CPU Card
Now available is a processor card sporting the Motorola 7447 running at 1Ghz or more. The 7447 is the latest in the 4th generation (G4) PowerPC lineup from Motorola, offering an improved performance base over the previous generation (G3) series of processors. In addition to a larger cache, the 7447 offers more pipelines, an improved front side bus (FSB) and most of all, a SIMD unit called the Altivec. Altivec offers a dedicated on-chip vector engine, capable of delivering over a Gflops (billion floating point operations per second) while remaining affordable to the average user.
We have prepared a PDF document (4.7meg) describing many of the G4 processor's architectural benefits.
A small number of Pegasos 1 / April 2 systems are available with this G4 card for 499 Euros.
Please contact bbrv@genesi.lu if you are interested in this offer.

Genesi: Small number of Pegasos I / G4 available : Comment 64 of 117 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 16-Jul-2003 22:29 GMT | In reply to Comment 18 (Olegil): >Don't tell me they haven't had problems with that slot, please. Can you specify your problems?The slot is no proprietary thing and it was proven to run with DDR266 FSB, right? >I doubt they will make that CPU slot run 166MHz FSB (which both the G3 and the>G4 now handles, and afaik the Marvell also supports it?). It's your right to doubt as long as everything is still vaporware.The Marvell chip can run at 133MHz FSB at least and I have seen 150MHz and 166MHz(for MIPS) numbers, too. Anyone knows how Pegasos clock multiplier can be set? Does the BIOS/OF have hiddenoptions or is it hardware-locked? |
