May 21 13:51:23 <benoitc> mmm plugcomputer.org seem outdated
May 21 13:51:37 <benoitc> are there any other recent sources around ?
May 21 14:40:32 <tinker-f595> benoitc: what is outdated and sources fo wehat?
May 21 14:40:35 <tinker-f595> what
May 21 14:42:25 <benoitc> blog
May 21 14:42:30 <benoitc> last news is 2010
May 21 14:42:36 <benoitc> since then no news
May 21 14:43:17 <tinker-f595> what blog?
May 21 14:43:22 <tinker-f595> there isno blog there
May 21 14:43:41 <benoitc> http://www.plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/the-news
May 21 14:43:50 <benoitc> or news if you prefer
May 21 14:44:05 <tinker-f595> that is not a blog
May 21 14:44:20 <benoitc> ok
May 21 14:44:36 <benoitc> so it's a news place not updated since 2010
May 21 14:44:50 <tinker-f595> big deal
May 21 14:45:08 <tinker-f595> take a look at the forum and the wiki
May 21 14:45:37 <tinker-f595> http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum
May 21 14:45:50 <tinker-f595> http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki
May 21 14:46:15 <benoitc> yes, but was looking for projects news, that's no biggie indeed was just asking
May 21 14:49:15 <tinker-f595> well it is a marvell sponsored site so if you want marvell news look at their main page otherwise just perform a search in google or yahoo or http://duckduckgo.com/
May 21 14:49:42 <benoitc> ok thx
May 21 14:52:31 <tinker-f595> benoitc: there is an interesting device shipping in June that use a PXA510 ( Marvell Armada 510) http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/c-8-d2plug.aspx
May 21 14:53:20 <tinker-f595> it is ARM V7 instruction set
May 21 15:07:33 <benoitc> ah interresting
May 21 15:07:54 <benoitc> though i'm a little disapointed by the current model, it's a little too big
May 21 15:08:32 <roxfan> lol @ "THE POWER TO AMAZE!!!!!!!!"
May 21 15:09:07 <benoitc> i wish the cirrus will be out soon
May 21 15:09:45 <benoitc> though the tam and essd are interresting ...
May 21 15:46:05 <tinker-f595> benoitc: "a little too big"
May 21 15:46:44 <tinker-f595> where you are you thinking of putting it?
May 21 15:47:43 <tinker-f595> benoitc: it would be nice if the d2plug let you mount a 2.5" drive inside it like the OpenRD do
May 21 15:54:43 <benoitc> yes
May 21 15:54:52 <benoitc> or cirrus for that purpose
May 21 15:54:54 <benoitc> brb
May 21 16:18:26 <eFfeM> afaik it does not
May 21 16:18:49 <eFfeM> (mounting a drive in the D2)
May 21 16:19:28 <eFfeM> and frankly speaking compared to the sheeva I find it quite pricey; and 800 Mhz on the slow side, given the current state of art wrt arm hw
May 21 17:06:29 <tinker-f595> eFfeM: it is not that slow considering it has coprocessors to offload tasks off to
May 21 17:07:08 <tinker-f595> eFfeM: and I did not say it had internal mounts for a drive. I said it would be nice if it did.
May 21 17:13:59 <ShadowJK> is the cpu dual-issue though?
May 21 17:15:19 <ShadowJK> Let's not forget a 3.2GHz P4 isn't faster than a 2.6GHz i7 ;p
May 21 17:16:08 * ShadowJK doesn't believe much in coprocessors anyway
May 21 17:36:52 <eFfeM> tinker ofc, but I see dual core A8 systems @ 1  - 1.5 ghz becoming quite common nowadays
May 21 18:11:41 <tinker-f595> ah he left
May 21 18:12:29 <tinker-f595> it depends on what they mean by dual core...I have seen where they say dual core and the 2nd core they refer to is a coprocessor
May 21 18:14:27 <tinker-f595> ShadowJK: since when is a coprocessor is a religious phenomena? engineers and scientists do not believe. they deal in facts not belief
May 21 18:25:18 <ShadowJK> As in, they're so difficult to use, and (in general) often-times so poorly documented or then you get outright sued if you try write/publish code for them, that it's hard to gain any benefit from them. Not that I'm familiar with these ones
