But the problem is that when will PC2002 be optimsed for Arm5?
If I didn't remember wrongly (reading from the net), this won't be anytime soon, as the PPC programmers would have to re-design the coding for ARM5, and it will not be backward compatible with ARM4. So I don't think they are going to re-code just for a small group of xscale users.... (true?)
So it seems that those xscale people would have to run underpowered PPCs for now...
And PS: Just a note for those that are getting under the OUB promotion, go get it quick.
This was what my friend's experience was:
He went to the shop (and he said that the shop was kinda run-down...)
Paid, and he was put on a waiting list...
Stocks will come, but the salesperson isn't sure on when will they arrive......
PPC2002 will never be optimised for Arm5.. that's MS stand unless they changed their mind...
Some programs are optimised for Arm5 oredi but very little.. so most of the program will not run as fast as it is running on a Arm4 core PPC. When i play bomberman on my HP J570, it's so much slower than when i play it on my HP J568......... forget about xscale.. dun buy it now... wait till MS comes out with an full working WinCE version that support Arm5...
