Yes, I donīt argue with that, but the Falc
canīt take advantage of all those MIPS, since
it still is just a poor 16bit 16MHZ machine.
It will be the same story with the TOSter;
You can plug a 800MHZ G4 card in, but the
bus and SDRAM will still only run at 133MHZ.
OK, at least there will be full 32 bit buses,
and a 360MIPS/24bit DSP. Always something...
(Falconīs DSP= 16MIPS/8bit mode)
> The Dragonball fammily is in no way new
Nope, but with a 68K core, it should be?
The early Dragonballīs were ARM architecture.
Anyway, it is a nice liīl processor, which
also would give the Falc some new functions
and interfaces. Or a ST, would work as well,
and the built-in TFT driver isnīt wrong, eh?
It will give an ST 640x480x16bit color! :o)
