With this innovative and powerful new accelerator a
new dimension of performance is brought to the Big
Box Amiga, with performance increases of multiple
times beyond the performance of the fastest 68k
based accelerators available today, for a
competative price that is perfectly targeted at the
power user.
<p>
Primarily being designed as an upgrade board for
existing Amiga systems, the Cyberstorm PPC Board
incorporates phase 5's innovative dual-processor
technology, where a fast PowerPC RISC processor
is combined with a 68k processor. In the case of the
Cyberstorm PPC Board, a choice of 68040-25 or
68060-50 CPU. The CPUs dynamically share the
memory and system busses, which is necessary for
a true multiprocessor behaviour. While the original
AmigaOS 3.x continues to run on the 68K CPU (as
well as all existing applications) providing 100%
compatibility - the PowerPC 604e CPU is supported
by a comprehensive PPC Library developed by
phase 5, which provides all functionality to integrate
the PowerPC into the Amiga multitasking
environment. Software developers can easily
optimise their programs step by step by porting single
tasks to PowerPC code, which then can run parallel
with 68k tasks. Many important Amiga software
vendors are preparing ported or optimised versions
of their software packages already, so it is expected
that a large quantity of software products supporting
the PowerPC will be available soon.
<p>
This Cyberstorm PPC Board is available with the fast
PowerPC604e processor at a clock speed of
233MHz. Also on the board is a 68060 processor at
a clock speed of 50mhz. Also provided is a fast
memory expansion option which uses standard
PS/2 type SIMMs. The memory is dynamically
shared by the two CPUs on the Cyberstorm PPC
Board. A fast Ultra Wide SCSI-II interface is
available on the PPC Board allowing you to connect
upto seven SCSI devices and enjoy transfer rates of
upto 40 megabytes per second.
<p>
A maximum of 128 megabytes of memory can be
fitted to the four SIMM sockets. Memory SIMMS
can only be added to the Cyberstorm PPC board in
pairs (Two at a time) as the bus is 64bits wide.
<p>
With it's fast 604e processor the Cyberstorm PPC
Board provides blistering performance that can
compete with most of the fastest PC systems
available today. With this performance the
Cyberstorm PPC Board is ready for the most
demanding applications such as 3D rendering and
high-speed 3D gameplaying, image manipulation,
animation, video applications, and many other
demanding applications that depend on fast CPU
performance.
<p>
A standard Amiga A1200 runs at a speed of around
1 million instructions per second. The 68060 in the
PPC Board is capable of close to 40 MIPS, while
the 233mhz 604e processor is running at over 350
MIPS.
