The PIOS ONE uses the PowerPC family of microprocessors from
companies Motorola,
IBM, and
Apple.
The high engineering capacity of these companies assures these
products a future with permanent progress and adaptation to
all coming demands.
This technology promises the full bandwidth of performance
and a secure future with well defined development paths for the
coming years, and all this at reasonable prices.
Particularly the PowerPC processors are available in a whole family of versions. Thus you can find the optimal processor model for every kind of application. Also the processors are easily exchangeable among each other, so that it's easy to build an upgradable computer which can be equipped with a more powerful processor model later. For the PowerPC family, there exist concrete plans for the next years for their further development. Especially optimized versions for Multimedia applications and for extremely high computing power are announced.

BeOS by company Be Inc.
is a new, innovative operating system, which supports up-to-date concepts
like Multithreading and Multiprocessing. In "Multithreading",
each application program is separated into several parallel running
"threads" on their own. Thus the software can make optimal use of
"Multiprocessing", which means that several microprocessors run
simultaneously in a computer independently.
