Most of the Amiga users don't have a clue of what PowerPC means, and what it means for the Amiga in particular. And it is my -HOPE- that the ones that read this will know alot more about it than they did before. The information about DEC's Alpha is just here to somewhat give a clue of how fast for example a 300Mhz version of the PPC 620 is. The documents come from different sources on the web and they have links in them that will be active if you are connected to the net while reading this. But reading this offline in IBrowse or any other html 3 compatible browser is ofcourse Ok (and alot cheaper)...
Well, let's begin with the PowerUP board pressrelease from Phase 5, that Lazarus have translated from German.Next we have an Overview of the PowerPC architecture.
The PowerPC faq, answers the most common questions about PowerPC.
What is the different specs of the PPC processors?
What about DEC Alphas?; - Yes, what about them?!
Information about AIX, a UNIX based OS for the PowerPC; Well it was around.. ;-)
That was all I'm afraid. If you have something that you feel would benefit this Information Compilation about PowerAmiga/PPC, don't hesitate to mail me at crion@canit.se. Especially updated information is appreciated as I feel that everything isn't as up-to-date as it could be. Real Test Benchmarks is interesting, as corporations rather put in an "estimated" value since it looks more attractive for the buyer... *ntel is especially good at this... Yes you're right; - English is not my native language..but I hope you had an interesting time reading this anyway...
