Another appealing aspect of the Vampire is versatility. While I love the look of an Amiga on a CRT I'm not beholden to it, and like the idea that I can switch over to HDMI at a later stage. I want the best of ALL worlds but don't have the space to get a whole range of machines to satisfy that. I'm a bit of an oddity in that regard. Quote:
Yeah I could get an A500 but I've been spoilt by speed over time and would find it difficult to slow down again. I've only got myself to blame for that. Last edited by sean_sk; 22 June 2017 at 21:17. |

That should shut up all the whiners who whine about the lack of an MMU. Now you've got hyperthreading!

@Locutus
Gunnar has repeatedly stated that he intends to make the 68080 a modern upgrade to the 68K ISA. A hyper-threading implementation definitely makes sense in that context. This announcement was definitely a surprise - a very good one. Of course to take full advantage of the capability will be up to developer time and effort. However for once on 68K the hardware is now ahead of the software. Cheers! |

I'd love to have a short video of Breathless running on this board and AB3DII at full screen 1x1 pixel.

Still waiting for a version of AB3D that runs fullscreen with 1x1 pixels... Never gonna happen though

First SoftFPU tests with GOLD2 core
A very early Software Floating Point Unit bring-up for the 68k. [ Show youtube player ] Its based on the work by Jari Eskelinen, which is being discussed here; http://www.apollo-core.com/knowledge...1&x=0&z=jWL3Fm Last edited by Overflow; 29 June 2017 at 12:02. |

Great news and nice work. Even though a soft FPU will never match the speeds that can be achieved by a hardware implementation, just having an FPU present will at least make it possible to run software which uses the FPU. Speed-wise I would be very happy if a soft FPU running on the 68080 could match the speed of a 60 MHz 68060 FPU and it may not be so far-fetched if it was optimized towards the 68080 core.

"but it's slower than 060" --- "it doesn't have 80bits precision, does it?" --- "it's an emulation of a CPU emulating an FPU" --- "why isn't it complete yet?" --- "my i5 is faster" --- "could the fanboys please shut up!" --- "it's all DPainted" in 3...2...1...

Hyperthreading, on the other hand, will immediately boost all Amiga applications thanks to FPGA power. |
