 RISC OS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Due to the very different hardware architecure of the Risc PC, including an ARM 6 processor, 16 and 24bit colour and a different IO chip (IOMD), RISC OS 3.50 was not made available for the older Archimedes and A Series ARM 2 and 3 machines.
Acorn halted work in all areas except set-top boxes in late 1998, and the company was renamed to Element 14 (the 14th element of the periodic table being silicon).
RISC OS 5 was written to support Castle's Iyonix PC Acorn-compatible, which runs on the Intel XScale ARM processor.

I wonder if this means that even the IYONIX can still not compete with those other computers that we all use, but do not admit to using.
He went on to emphasis that the IYONIX pc gives the industry a fantastic opportunity for the future, in fact for everyone.
With the incredible speed of which the IYONIX is capable it was wondered if some new super software was being looked at in the Castle camp.

Once current Risc PC supplies have been exhausted the RISC OS market will be based on the Acorn A7000+ and IYONIX pc, produced by Castle, and other RISC OS machines from independent manufacturers.
The Risc PC was announced by Acorn early in 1994 and went on sale in the spring of that year.

 Benchmarks - MicroDigital Omega vs.Castle IYONIX pc
As can easily be seen, the IYONIX pc offers a massive speed advantage over both the trusty old Risc PC machines and the Omega as well.
Surprisingly, the few tests done with Aemulor show the same picture: while this could be expected from the Creator benchmark (because it is very disc-intensive, where the IYONIX pc has clear advantages at the moment), the PackDir one is really surprising.
The AWRender benchmark shows that the Omega is actually faster than the IYONIX pc when accessing screen memory: the speed advantage of the IYONIX pc is less than the expected 2× minimum from the other tests.

This software will be supplied as part of the IYONIX pc SCSI package and will illustrate how easy it now is to write SCSI drivers using a slim "SCSISoft" driver layer in a similar manner to that of the IYONIX pc CD system.

 IYONIX PC
The IYONIX is introduced in a time were the current range of RISC OS computers is no longer suited for a number of today's applications.
As RISC OS 5 will be further developed once the IYONIX pc has been launched, users may have to upgrade their operating system from time to time.
As the new IYONIX pc can only run 32-bit software, a number of 'old' applications cannot be used as they are only suitable for use on 26-bit systems.

Oddly I'd expect this model to be a little cheaper as the case is much easier for Castle to construct over the 'old' Iyonix PC case due to it no longer having to be specially adapted to fit Podules.
Castle confirms that their new Iyonix pc will be on display with Cannon Computing at the BETT 2003 Show in London starting tomorrow.

 The Linux Extremist » Blog Archive » Fires and Laptops and Batteries, Oh My!
The dirty little secret of the PC industry is that most users don’t need as much of the processing power and energy usage as they are presently consuming; the Windows / Intel cycle of creating an ever larger operating system which requires ever more processing power to use it is creating this situation.
Acorn PC, a defunct British manufacturer of RISC OS PCs, just had its trademark bought by another company; this firm has decided to offer standard Windows laptops rather than doing something really interesting and offering the low power, high performance PCs that consumer can and should get.
They’re going to see: Whizz-bang industry-standard PC, powerful processor, £700; or nearly-identical looking non-industry standard PC, processor they’ve never heard of, funny OS (even though I love it, and the fact that it isn’t Windows goes a long way to explaining why it’s good, that’s the thing - it isn’t Windows, and neither is Linux).

The IYONIX pc contains an Intel XScale processor, which unlike all previous ARM-based processors does not have a 26-bit compatility mode allowing you to run all existing software.
Also, old 26-bit software will not be able to use the new features of the IYONIX pc and RISC OS 5, and you would of course miss out on any other enhancements that the authors introduce.
The A9home version of Aemulor is very similar to the IYONIX pc version, differing only in the memory addresses that it uses and the speed of the emulation, since the original StrongARM engine relies upon hardware features present in the XScale CPU only.

When the Risc PC architecture was improved in 1995, the OS was updated to RISC OS 3.6 which featured much better hard disk access and extended networking to include TCP/IP in addition to Acorn's existing proprietary Econet system, although the OS remained in ROM.
In 1996 the Risc PC was upgraded to a StrongARM processor and the OS kernel was changed to take advantage, the new revision being dubbed RISC OS 3.7.
RISC OS 5 is a separate evolution of RISC OS 3.8 from Castle Technology Ltd for their Iyonix PC line of Acorn-compatibles, which run on the Intel XScale ARM processor.

RISC OS is usually stored in ROM or Flash ROM and this is one of the reasons why RISC OS computers are so quick to start up.
ARM based RISC processors have the advantage of not using very much power and as a result they hardly generate any heat, which means they don't have to have their own fans or heatsinks to cool them down.
