Anyone knows if the T2081 variant will be actually be realized?
It should just be cases of soldering a T2081 to the board instead of the T1042. No idea about the board in general, the T2081NSN8TTB is the least expensive 1.8Ghz part at just over $200, so it should be about a $100 difference between the two variants.
Yes I understand that the possibility exists, at least in theory. But it seems that none of the prototypes has this CPU yet though, so it still hasn’t been tested in practice? And maybe I’m marked by passed experiences but haven’t we read so many times about specs of upcoming projects where it says “up to” this and that performance, clock speed etc, only to fall short in the end, only offering a less exciting option for economical reasons or whatever?
But the point is that all PPC options that still exists are rather weak by todays standards, as we notice in CPU intensive applications like web browsing, so there is absolutely no reason to choose anything less than the most powerful option. We will need the highest possible clockspeed, we will need Altivec. So in this case, anything less than the 1.8GHz T2081 would be uninteresting IMHO…
MorphOS is Amiga
done right!
MorphOS NG will be AROS
done right!
