| 00:28.19 | atari2600a | hey |
| 00:28.34 | atari2600a | I drop in by chance a few days ago & 2 seconds later you guys appear on slashdot |
| 00:28.40 | atari2600a | good for you guys |
| 00:29.40 | atari2600a | anyways, what I'm much more interested in which makes so little sense |
| 00:30.03 | atari2600a | when's there gonna be a netbook EOMA-68 netbook dock w/ removable RAM |
| 00:30.09 | atari2600a | or is the RAM embedded on the card itself |
| 00:30.16 | L84Supper | atari2600a: what actually goes on here and what that article is about is different |
| 00:30.37 | L84Supper | there is no EOMA68 card, it's still vapor |
| 00:30.58 | atari2600a | D: the side-note on the article says it's in production |
| 00:31.10 | atari2600a | *pre-production |
| 00:31.16 | Mehhh | Is this what powered the Phantom Console? |
| 00:31.21 | Mehhh | *rim-shot* |
| 00:31.36 | L84Supper | there so much BS, I don't know where to start |
| 00:31.43 | atari2600a | hey man that's not cool |
| 00:31.46 | atari2600a | my brother died that way |
| 00:33.44 | atari2600a | anyways I guess until the netbook comes back, I'll stick w/ a Nexus 7 or 10 or something |
| 00:34.09 | penguin42 | the 10 looks neat |
| 00:34.43 | atari2600a | as long as it can run GNU/Linux |
| 00:34.48 | atari2600a | & have a keyboard |
| 00:35.11 | atari2600a | (brand-name tablets are more likely to get cases w/ bluetooth/USB-OTG keyboards |
| 00:35.42 | atari2600a | OMG how come SO FEW Have attempted a tablet with an SSD & DIMMs? |
| 00:36.03 | penguin42 | atari2600a: Because the tablet market is driven by being light |
| 00:36.38 | penguin42 | atari2600a: It's only kind of the pro/industrial things that need that flexibility |
| 00:36.49 | atari2600a | penguin42, mPCIE formfactor cards & a single DIMM slot? |
| 00:39.38 | penguin42 | atari2600a: I'm not sure what's possible to be honest; do any of them use mPCIe for wireless |
| 00:46.45 | *** join/#arm-netbook Mehhh (adabd66c@gateway/web/freenode/ip.173.171.214.108) |
| 00:46.55 | atari2600a | no but it'd be a plus |
| 00:47.15 | atari2600a | I can think of at least one laptop that I can't use on modern routers because it predates WPA |
| 00:48.11 | atari2600a | all I know is there's probably people still making mPCIE SSD's like there's still some people making PCMCIA-formfactor bullshit |
| 00:51.05 | penguin42 | atari2600a: Nod |
| 00:51.10 | Mehhh | atari, you can't use an adapter? |
| 00:51.31 | atari2600a | I got the laptop for free |
| 00:52.05 | atari2600a | I wouldn't want to make 5 trips to frys to keep returning the smallest cheapest adapters I can find until I find one that works |
| 00:52.12 | atari2600a | it's a nice laptop though |
| 00:52.32 | atari2600a | on old P4 non-HT IBM ThinkPad w/ <1GB DDR RAM |
| 00:52.39 | atari2600a | but the real kicker |
| 00:52.42 | atari2600a | IT HAS A FLOPPY DRIVE |
| 00:53.07 | penguin42 | <klunk> whirrrr stepstepstepstepstepstepwhiirrrr</klunk> |
| 00:54.03 | penguin42 | atari2600a: This conversation is going through a P90 desktop that's my NAT box; wouldn't actually want to do anything useful on it though |
| 00:54.18 | L84Supper | some vendors have used the PCIe on the Tegra for wifi |
| 00:54.49 | penguin42 | L84Supper: Yeh I do wonder if that could be broken out to a PCIe backplane and bridge |
| 00:55.04 | L84Supper | I wish they did add PCIe to some tablets, there would be all sorts of industrial uses |
| 00:55.34 | penguin42 | L84Supper: My assumption is that Apple will add it with the thunderbolt connectors, and I'd bet some of the industrial ones have it |
| 00:55.36 | L84Supper | penguin42: it depends on the PCIe on the SOC, some are only x1 some are x4 |
| 00:55.48 | penguin42 | there are SOCs with x4 ? |
| 00:55.49 | penguin42 | oooh |
| 00:56.00 | atari2600a | while nothing would make me happier than see the wifi bottleneck on phones & tablets go away, I think a mPCIE slot would be better fitted for storage |
| 00:56.01 | L84Supper | if you spot an industrail one, please let me know |
| 00:57.26 | L84Supper | some of the marvell had x4 PCIe, but the bus would get saturated pretty easily |
| 00:57.29 | penguin42 | I know Lenovo are doing a laptop that'll fold around to a tablet style - like the tablets of 5 years ago |
| 00:57.46 | L84Supper | a GPU would starve there pretty quickly |
| 00:59.39 | L84Supper | http://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-xp/ |
| 00:59.51 | penguin42 | yeh they're nice looking chips |
| 01:00.31 | L84Supper | kirkwood and discovery had some as well |
| 01:01.01 | L84Supper | but no docs and no desire by marvell to sell parts |
| 01:01.09 | L84Supper | open docs anyway |
| 01:01.17 | penguin42 | yeh I saw a usb/network bridge on sale the other day that was based around a marvell and had a mPCIE for wireless - I was tempted |
| 01:01.56 | Mehhh | You can run linux on it? |
| 01:02.06 | penguin42 | oh yeh |
| 01:02.41 | penguin42 | damn, can't rmeember the name |
| 01:02.52 | Mehhh | If you could boot from a sep drive, the intel turbocache drives are super cheap on ebay |
| 01:03.00 | Mehhh | IO would be insanely nice |
| 01:03.20 | penguin42 | ah yeh, it was an iomedga iconnect |
| 01:03.29 | penguin42 | http://www.kroonen.eu/wiki/Debian%20iConnect |
| 01:03.43 | atari2600a | penguin42, lenovo's been doing that for over 5 years & I have the hardware to prove it |
| 01:04.24 | Mehhh | I had a centrino single that does that stuff by IBM |
| 01:04.31 | Mehhh | =/= len |
| 01:08.23 | penguin42 | L84Supper: There are some embeddedy ArmadaXP cards around and some systems for them - they're not cheap |

| 01:15.20 | L84Supper | penguin42: I actually have an NDA with Marvell and have tried to work with them |
| 01:16.16 | penguin42 | L84Supper: I know a few guys at codethink who use the http://www.cogcomp.com/csb_csb1726.htm modules |

| 01:18.23 | Mehhh | All I want is an A15 quadcore, narrow stick |
| 01:18.25 | penguin42 | nod |
| 01:18.32 | Mehhh | narrow, not square |
| 01:19.43 | L84Supper | all the latest ARM soc's are either unavailable, broken or missing open docs, some are even missing closed docs :) |
| 01:21.41 | Mehhh | I'm just hoping the Allwinner A15 is an A15 ;) |
| 01:21.54 | Mehhh | They could call it the Xzibit core |
| 01:22.17 | penguin42 | Mehhh: Based on standard naming of other SoCs the only thing you can be sure of is that whatever it's named it will in no way indicate what core it's got |

| 01:23.53 | Turl | it's gonna be too hot for a narrow stick |
| 01:24.03 | Mehhh | Naw, i made a nice heatsink for it |
| 01:24.06 | L84Supper | I bet it's done intentionally to get buyers to assume it's better than it is, like the 1.5GHz spec and dual cores |
| 01:24.14 | Turl | I mean the A15 |
| 01:24.29 | Turl | consider A15 was invented to be used on servers, not mobile |
| 01:24.51 | penguin42 | Turl: Arguable considering it's now in latest phones and tablets |
| 01:24.56 | L84Supper | narrow stick with large heatsink or a heatpipe |
| 01:25.07 | Mehhh | I'm using it in a lapdock so |

| 09:28.16 | oliv3r | I do applaud lkcl's effort and persistance. If this SoC materializes in the next year or so and can do full 1080p HD, it may well be the next XBMC (or whatever mediaplayer du jour) preferred SoC. tablets, mini-desktops etc are all workable aswell |
| 09:28.21 | oliv3r | RMS should be happy :) |
| 09:30.13 | orly_owl | he might even get a laptop that doesnt suck |
| 09:30.29 | oliv3r | Hell, I would even get a laptop like that |
| 09:30.33 | Mehhh | It won't. 10 million dollars... |
| 09:30.33 | orly_owl | same |
| 09:30.38 | Mehhh | no way no how |
| 09:30.40 | orly_owl | id buy 2 |
| 09:30.49 | oliv3r | 2 laptops, 3 'set top boxes' |
| 09:30.51 | Mehhh | not unless he uses money from another project that also uses that CPU |
| 09:30.55 | oliv3r | a few mini-pc's |
| 09:31.06 | oliv3r | kick start it :D |
| 09:31.13 | oliv3r | lets see how long it'll take to get 10m :( |
| 09:31.25 | oliv3r | if I had 10 mil, i'd invest ;p |
| 09:31.27 | Mehhh | ask the last company to try |
| 09:31.36 | Mehhh | that failed |
| 09:31.50 | oliv3r | Mehhh: which company? tried what? |
| 09:31.56 | Mehhh | open soc |
| 09:32.03 | Mehhh | can't remember the name |
| 09:32.12 | Mehhh | but it was the same idea, and has the same fate |
| 09:32.34 | oliv3r | when was that though? |
| 09:32.44 | Mehhh | 1-2 years ago? |
| 09:33.00 | *** join/#arm-netbook gzamboni (~gzamboni@89.29.67.86.rev.sfr.net) |
| 09:33.01 | Mehhh | this same cycle usually happens every 1-2 |
| 09:33.36 | oliv3r | The ideaaa still is good, but nobody is willing to take the risk |
| 09:33.43 | Mehhh | The first "open" cpu will be when you can 3d print it |
| 09:33.45 | oliv3r | 10 mil (for a big company) isn't that big a deal |
| 09:34.01 | oliv3r | actually, lkcl should start talks with google, for them 10 mil is chump change |
| 09:34.20 | Mehhh | You realize they could buy a fab for 10m |
| 09:34.31 | Mehhh | completely ruining the point |
| 09:35.08 | oliv3r | They'd obviously do this with the point of creating an open SoC |
| 09:35.56 | Mehhh | Google: Can it run binary ads? No? No. |
| 09:36.20 | jinzo | I personally think that within next 5 years something like that will be possible. Because a lot off companies are trying to success in the Smartphone/mobile/whatever market and some of them will burn out |
| 09:36.21 | oliv3r | it can run android with its binary adds just fine :p |
| 09:36.56 | jinzo | and then their assests will be cheaper/they will be more willing to open source their design |
| 09:37.26 | jinzo | at least I hope so. Even if it's not the latest tech - a cheap SoC could go a long way |
| 09:37.26 | Mehhh | Google won't do it because Samsung |
| 09:37.47 | Mehhh | Look at what happened to Huawei |
| 09:37.49 | jinzo | and Motorola and whatnot, that's quite sure |
| 09:38.02 | jinzo | what? Last time I checked they were doing great. |
| 09:38.04 | oliv3r | still, for google this will be chump change and would fit fine into their 'google phone/tablet/set top box' portfolio |
| 09:38.08 | Mehhh | jinzo... |
| 09:38.12 | oliv3r | now they rely on 3rd party socs' |
| 09:38.15 | Mehhh | they were almost banned |
| 09:38.17 | Mehhh | completely |
| 09:38.25 | Mehhh | in fact politicans are still trying |
| 09:38.51 | Mehhh | olivr, yes, but google makes money on ads and software |
| 09:38.53 | jinzo | Mehhh, USA? they will soon be irrelevant in my honest opinion (regarding technology market.) |
| 09:39.02 | Mehhh | Right |
| 09:39.09 | oliv3r | Mehhh: yes, and how do they get it to the people? cheap phones and tablets (and settop boxes) |
| 09:39.21 | Mehhh | Let me know when Apple doesn't make kids in India and China so mad they sell kidneys to get an ipad |
| 09:39.22 | oliv3r | having a reference open SoC, would not be a bad idea |
| 09:39.30 | oliv3r | and they have motorolla mobility to make those reference designs |
| 09:39.41 | oliv3r | so to see if its viable, 10mil is nothing to them |
| 09:39.42 | Mehhh | America has the same thing a British accent does in the USA |
| 09:39.44 | jinzo | oliv3r, Google won't be making hardware directly for the forseeable future imo. As they relay on relatively good relations with too many hardware companies |
| 09:39.57 | Mehhh | Image of someting long past |
| 09:40.05 | Mehhh | Apple is proof that image works |
| 09:40.08 | oliv3r | reference design, not making their own platform |
| 09:40.19 | jinzo | Mehhh, yes - but we're not talking image here per se. |
| 09:40.24 | Mehhh | yes, yes we are |

| 09:40.38 | oliv3r | also, htc for example, doesn't care whether they use google open soource SoC or samsungs soc or qualcom's soc. They wanna sell you a phone |

| 09:41.19 | jinzo | and that the USA market is the biggest most important market for them - for example: look at the new Nexus lunch |
| 09:41.23 | oliv3r | Mehhh: where are you from? |
| 09:41.34 | Mehhh | USA of course |
| 09:41.38 | oliv3r | because 10 years ago, it was 'nokia' that was leading the phone industrie, right here in europe |
| 09:41.46 | Mehhh | I used to pay people to get me phones from japan |
| 09:41.49 | Mehhh | stationed there |
| 09:41.52 | Mehhh | Nokia, rofl |
| 09:41.53 | oliv3r | ah yes, USA has always been catching up on the phone market : |
| 09:41.56 | oliv3r | :p |
| 09:41.56 | Mehhh | again, nokia was image |
| 09:42.04 | Mehhh | Japan had tech Nokia copied |
| 09:42.07 | jinzo | stuff like that will, with all the patent battles, all the nonsense around Huawei and alike soon perish |
| 09:42.08 | Mehhh | Sharp, Panasonic |
| 09:42.10 | Mehhh | etc |
| 09:42.25 | jinzo | and they'll stock EU/Russia first |
| 09:42.46 | Mehhh | The point is that the USA is only getting better devices, not the other way around |
| 09:42.49 | jinzo | look at how good Huawei is doing, at what price range are they lunching new hardware |
| 09:42.52 | Mehhh | it used to have the worst |
| 09:43.00 | Mehhh | Now, Africa is getting better 4g than europe |
| 09:43.04 | Mehhh | sad |
| 09:43.37 | jinzo | because we know HSDPA+ (that's 3G) uses less battery and offers good speeds? |
| 09:43.49 | Mehhh | Not anymore |
| 09:44.05 | Mehhh | battery drain mAh per MB |
| 09:44.20 | Mehhh | is officially less on LTE now (for current gen devices) |
| 09:44.31 | Mehhh | Try again |
| 09:44.38 | jinzo | you'll notice that EU has quite a good infrastructure (generally) from mobile networks to internet networks |
| 09:44.45 | Mehhh | I never said they didn't |
| 09:44.48 | jinzo | ah? Didn't notice that in any of the current reviews I read |
| 09:45.05 | Mehhh | That's the only reason Apple finally put it in their device |
| 09:45.14 | jinzo | the lack of LTE in new nexus was widely assumed because of battery drain |
| 09:45.19 | Mehhh | It has LTE |
| 09:45.27 | jinzo | not activated/whetever |
| 09:45.30 | Mehhh | ...and they figured out how to enable it |
| 09:45.34 | Mehhh | it was done to save $$ |
| 09:45.44 | Mehhh | because they have to pay to use that tech |
| 09:46.00 | jinzo | yes - sure. I'm preatty sure they have to pay it when they make the actuall silicon :D |
| 09:46.03 | oliv3r | Nokia's 'image' is what even remotely lets them survive now, and that image is fading quickly. But back in the early 2000's, nokia was king of the phones; back then, USA had pathetic phones. It was the iPhone that brought the USA up to par with the rest of the world |
| 09:46.11 | Mehhh | Yes, but the license cost is more than the chip costs |
| 09:46.25 | Mehhh | Nokia wasn't, unless you were white in 2000 |
| 09:46.29 | oliv3r | anyway, all that is history now. Google having funded (not owning) a SoC would still be a good thing :) |
| 09:46.35 | oliv3r | so lkcl try to talk ot google :) |
| 09:46.35 | jinzo | Mehhh, and you think the licensees would be "ok, just use software to disable it, and we're cool?" |
| 09:46.39 | Mehhh | I was getting that hot high res from Japan |
| 09:46.47 | Mehhh | from Navy guys |
| 09:46.53 | Mehhh | Yes |
| 09:46.57 | Mehhh | that is exactly the case |
| 09:47.11 | Mehhh | just like the A13 vs A10 |
| 09:47.30 | oliv3r | I wouldn't be supprised that the A13 is simply broken/binned silicon |
| 09:47.34 | jinzo | you seem to know a lot about that tech, and you're not under a NDA |
| 09:47.48 | Mehhh | So? I have epic RSS feeds |
| 09:48.00 | Mehhh | you can import them in excel / GD now |
| 09:48.01 | jinzo | oliv3r, that's a bit different than just using high level software to disable it. |
| 09:48.03 | Mehhh | so i'm always on my game |
| 09:48.20 | oliv3r | jinzo: but then you can simply re-enable it ;) |
| 09:49.04 | Mehhh | For instance, Windows Starter edition had many files in the WIM image from other versions |
| 09:49.14 | Mehhh | every company does this after it becomes cheaper to include and disable |
| 09:49.19 | Mehhh | Apple with Siri |
| 09:49.52 | Mehhh | ATI / Nvidia and OEM gpus |
| 09:50.04 | Mehhh | Intel with the Xeon E3's |
| 09:50.14 | Mehhh | i'm just being a realist. |
| 09:55.12 | Mehhh | does anyone here know if the USB A can be sub'd for a Micro USB female with the 4->5 trick on the MK802? |
| 09:56.21 | jinzo | Mehhh, oliv3r the difference is with high level disable (like Googles LTE) or low level disable (like AMD's 3 core processors, RPI's videocore IV) |
| 09:56.52 | Mehhh | The Xeon is a rebadged I7 |
| 09:56.53 | Mehhh | the E3 |
| 09:57.10 | Mehhh | the real world voltages run the exact same |
| 09:57.19 | jinzo | the low level disable is not that easy to overcome, (with AMD you had to re connect some vias), and tell me when a new video codec for Videocore IV will be released |
| 09:57.51 | jinzo | or the bios flashes of some AMD/ATI video cards |
| 09:58.03 | jinzo | far from easy, even for techies. |
| 09:58.35 | oliv3r | imo, video core should be something like a little FPGA in the SoC so you can update the video codecs :) |
| 09:58.43 | Gumboot | What's disabled in VideoCore? |
| 09:59.04 | Mehhh | Here is the perfect example: Intel had 3-4 CPUs where you could "unlock" cache and mhz |
| 09:59.05 | oliv3r | I used to flash my video bios on my radeon 9700 :D |
| 09:59.07 | Mehhh | for 50$ |
| 09:59.33 | Mehhh | the Nexus 4 can be "unlocked" to LTE, or you can buy the Optimus G |
| 09:59.33 | oliv3r | a lot of single/dual/tripple cores could be unlocked to quad or hexa cores. |
| 09:59.40 | jinzo | Mehhh, I agree - it's a fact everyone does this - but when they do it they do it on a level that is not fixable from high level code (as with nexuses LTE) |
| 09:59.44 | jinzo | oliv3r, yes - but not easly |
| 10:00.05 | oliv3r | jinzo: bios option! |
| 10:00.06 | jinzo | flashing a video bios is not easy too, adding MPEG2 to Videocore IV is not easy too (if you don't pay for it ofcourse) |
| 10:00.13 | Mehhh | jinzo, this is LG we're talking about ;) |
| 10:00.19 | jinzo | oliv3r, on the graphic card? didn't see that one comming |
| 10:00.32 | oliv3r | jinzo: na CPU's! |
| 10:00.56 | oliv3r | flashing video bios was easy as running a commandline tool and flashing the rom |
| 10:01.00 | jinzo | the last time I checked it was quite a adventure - but I'm not into graphic cards |
| 10:01.20 | oliv3r | in my case, we simply took the 9700Pro bios and flashed it onto a 9700 |
| 10:01.20 | jinzo | oh - and who made it? I guessed we're talking about the process to create that |
| 10:01.23 | oliv3r | but this was old skool |
| 10:01.27 | Mehhh | anyone here solder on their MK802? |
| 10:03.39 | slapin | Mehhh: /me soldered a lot on mk802 clones |
| 10:04.04 | Mehhh | Do you know if the OTG trick works on the USB A ports? |
| 10:04.22 | slapin | Mehhh: what OTG trick? |
| 10:04.22 | jinzo | Gumboot, regarding VideoCore IV - you can buy additional software codecs (for decode only afaik) from them now. |
| 10:04.37 | Mehhh | solder 1st / 2nd pin on the mini-usb to enable otg |
| 10:06.03 | Mehhh | I'm trying to figure out the easiest and (size wise) thinnest way to get a micro-usb on the device |
| 10:06.17 | Gumboot | I don't think they sell any software video codecs. |
| 10:06.43 | Gumboot | VP8 and Theora would be the only ones I know of which are done in software, and to the best of my knowledge they've never bothered to make those available. |
| 10:07.19 | jinzo | Gumboot, I meant additional software for the VideoCore IV, that get's uploaded I presume |
| 10:07.27 | jinzo | and enables it - not sure how it actually works |
| 10:08.02 | jinzo | ah a license I see. |
| 10:08.15 | Mehhh | oh snap |
| 10:08.16 | jinzo | so looks like a license key only enables it |
| 10:08.37 | Gumboot | Yeah. It's a cost-down. |
| 10:08.51 | Gumboot | Do you need to buy MPEG4, as well? |
| 10:09.28 | jinzo | afaik no. You even get the encoding of MPEG4. But it's been quite some time I followed RPi stuff. |
| 10:09.50 | Gumboot | Does it detect and cripple DivX files? |
| 10:10.17 | jinzo | they did so many mistakes when they lunched, some even out of pure ignorance if you ask me |
| 10:10.33 | Gumboot | Encoding is easier because any video you encode in MPEG4 is implicitly not DivX unless you're using their encoder. Decode requires detection, though. |
| 10:10.45 | Gumboot | It's too early for lunch, here. |
| 10:11.13 | jinzo | and since then I'm not really a fan. I respect what they're doing but - there's a lot of alternatives out there. |
| 10:14.49 | Mehhh | Has anyone ever made a cable that goes in the back portion of a MiniUSB port |
| 10:18.06 | Mehhh | so no-one has tried OTG via main USB? |
| 10:18.30 | Mehhh | i mean, using a 5pin USB->MicroUSB has the same effect, correct? |
| 10:18.42 | Mehhh | even if the USB port itself has 4 |
| 10:21.24 | Mehhh | Like so: http://im.tech2.in.com/gallery/2012/jun/difference_circuit_271738111300_640x360.jpg |
| 10:25.00 | oliv3r | I suppose the hardware has to actually support usb otg though |
| 10:25.10 | oliv3r | your run of the mill PC probably won't |
| 10:26.11 | Mehhh | it does |
| 10:26.15 | Mehhh | the MK802 |
| 10:26.27 | Mehhh | but technically as long as the software does, it will work, correct? |

| 12:48.34 | libv | xenoxaos: there is about an 11 month gap there |
| 12:48.58 | libv | so t6xx is fundamentally different from mali200/400 |
| 12:49.21 | xenoxaos | didnt know the details of the core |
| 12:49.28 | libv | we might find some similarities, but we are still too busy working on the mali200/400 |
| 12:49.46 | libv | we are not feature complete enough to be able to start writing an actual driver. |
| 12:50.21 | xenoxaos | just demo calls written specificially to do a specific task? |
| 12:50.38 | xenoxaos | specificially specific....i need sleep |
| 12:51.07 | libv | what is there is a library which has an interface which is surprisingly close to a gl workflow |
| 12:51.22 | libv | and a handful of tests, each improving functionality |
| 12:51.36 | xenoxaos | if i knew what the fuck i was doing, i'd help |
| 12:52.28 | libv | 4000+ tri mesh, with a texture, spinning away at 40fps is not too bad for an REed driver, given the time i have been able to spend on lima in the last year (which has changed now, but more on that on the phoronix forums) |
| 12:52.38 | libv | err s/forums/post/ |
| 12:54.35 | libv | on the shader side, the vertex shader is quite insane, which makes it very efficient, but there for instance seems little possibility to write an assembler for it |
| 12:54.46 | libv | the only thing that makes sense is going straight for a compiler |
| 12:55.01 | libv | there is an assembler for the fragment shader though |

| 15:17.40 | mnemoc | you can extract them from the running system (android) using https://github.com/maxnet/a10-meminfo |

| 15:29.04 | mnemoc | or 0755 |
| 15:29.05 | oliv3r | worked fine |

| 16:50.11 | L84Supper | how many cores is that 32? :) |
| 16:50.25 | phh | 8... |
| 16:50.33 | phh | it's written in the url -_-' |
| 16:50.55 | phh | and erm, yeah 4+4 = 9 |
| 16:50.56 | phh | 8* |
| 16:50.57 | mnemoc | but only 4 runs at the time |
| 16:51.03 | mnemoc | run* |
| 16:51.04 | phh | that's sure ? |
| 16:51.06 | L84Supper | 4 x a15 = 60, + 4 x a7 = 28, so possibly 88 cores |
| 16:51.09 | phh | i think so too though |
| 16:51.17 | phh | L84Supper: makes sense |
| 16:51.40 | mnemoc | from what i've seen of big/little it's a one set or the other thing |
| 16:52.10 | phh | yeah that's how big.little is advertised indeed |
| 16:53.00 | mnemoc | so selling a 4+4 as 8 core is very similar to count the GPU shaders are cores too |
