And there are numbers on it, but seems strange that the same number is there twice, though I'm not an expert either.

it's WIP, so don't worry :-D

the numbers mean nothing obvious I think
<Joerg-Neo900>
could be the square millimeters of the footprint, or whatever

so working on the next announcement, but Joerg had a good idea to give people here a chance to critique and potentially add suggestions to the announcements since people here often have questions they want answered anyway
<sn0wmonster>
after a day or two of community review, if there's nothing major that screams to be added, we'll push it to the website

<jonsger>
it's now the 4th or 5th layouter?
<Joerg-Neo900>
it's the second contracted one, after Nikolaus
<jonsger>
oke
<Joerg-Neo900>
well, for Nikolaus "contracted" sounds a tad weird
<Joerg-Neo900>
and the contract been signed yesterday
<Joerg-Neo900>
so it's probably fair to say it's our very first professional layouter
<varu|zZz>
Joerg-Neo900: the SoC is the same as at the start of the project? with 1GB RAM?
<Joerg-Neo900>
much time been "wasted" on learning how to *find* a layouter. I think finally we learned that lesson and found the best one we possibly could get
<Joerg-Neo900>
yes
<Joerg-Neo900>
DM3730 with 1GB RAM PoP
<Joerg-Neo900>
as good as it gets in OMAP3 world
<Joerg-Neo900>
for higher specs you would need to go OMAP4 or 5, where I never will use OMAP4 since it has some nasty SiErr afaik
<varu|zZz>
my only concern is interest in the platform as the specs continue to fall behind what people have come to expect
<Joerg-Neo900>
OMAP5 is too large/bulky for Neo900
<Joerg-Neo900>
varu|zZz: DM3730 + 1GB RAM is what N9 has. As long as you don't consider N9 as too slow, you will be OK with Neo900
<varu|zZz>
of course, and anyone interested will definitely want to have something in hand vs. the 3d realms story
<Joerg-Neo900>
we're not focused on numbers, we focus on functionality
<varu|zZz>
sounds good :)
<varu|zZz>
The current expectation for v2 prototype layout completion is 5 weeks.
<varu|zZz>
even better!
<Joerg-Neo900>
the system performance for sure will not suffice for VR-goggles, but then I don't think that's a usecase anybody seriously planned for Neo900. For brwosing, video playback etc the performance should absolutely suffice
<sn0wmonster>
i agree. i am bummed it can't be OMAP5, 2 GB RAM, 120GB SDCARD storage, and 64bit processor,
<sn0wmonster>
but that's only because i want to run TailsOS on it with Monero daemon
<sn0wmonster>
hehe
<sn0wmonster>
for normal people, i don't think it's going to matter much

128GB eMMC is still not off the table
<Joerg-Neo900>
though I guss 64GB will suffice
<Joerg-Neo900>
if you need more, add a 256GB uSD
<sn0wmonster>
i think the issue was that Monero uses a lot of CPU power to hash through the blockchain
<Joerg-Neo900>
ooh yes#
<sn0wmonster>
and that the handling libraries were written specifically for 64 bit chipsets
<sn0wmonster>
so if it were to be done on a 32 bit chip it would fall back to default code, which is eons slower
<sn0wmonster>
but there is a solution for that -- write the faster code for 32 bit too!
<Joerg-Neo900>
hmm, that shouldn't matter much, except for the obvious boost in CPU grunt from 64bit
<sn0wmonster>
iirc it takes 1 hash every 2 seconds on pi 1 vs 25 hashes/sec on a mediocre smartphone,
<Joerg-Neo900>
when you have to deal with 64bit words of data, then obviously a 32bit arch is less than half as fast as a 64bit arch, since each data access needs two operations instead of one
<sn0wmonster>
so it'd be like 50:1 difference for processing the blockchain
<sn0wmonster>
basically if you didn't preload it from your own desktop by copying an updated blockchain file, it would *never* catch up with the current blockchain
<sn0wmonster>
this was told to me by a Monero dev who got Monero working on his pi
<sn0wmonster>
if we could get it to that point, through software alone, to where we could run TailsOS with Monero,
<sn0wmonster>
i think Neo900 would become the new hackers phone for everyone
<sn0wmonster>
but i think the Tails devs no longer support 32 bit because Debian no longer supports 32 bit either
<sn0wmonster>
it's definintely a limitation, but i guess only if you're trying to use it like your main desktop
<sn0wmonster>
instead of an incredibly powerful handheld
