Lucie / minuteworking prototype of MNT Reform Next with MNT Quasar 8550 processor module (based on Qualcomm QCS8550). speedy!

kcxt(wanted to validate that the Next is indeed future proof)
mewei think the 8550 performance really hits a sweet spot between "faaast" and "not too hot". it's not exactly cheap though. anyway can't wait to get the quasars into beta and production. but first have to ship the reform next itself :D
Jon Dubovsky@mntmn I read that as "16550" and got real confused for a moment. "Yeah, I mean, adding the FIFO was a real treat... oh wait..."
R.O.S.I.E 5448I have a Linux device with an SM8550 in it, it's pretty damn fast for a phone chip (at least from my emulation usage, it seems to be faster than my main laptop);

DaveCole@mntmn with all of these flavours, will you have a comparison chart for those of us who dont completely understand pros/cons and speed differences between the processors?
Simon Josefsson@jas @davec555 we already do that https://mntre.com/modularity.html#our-cpu-modules scroll down to the table
brendan (ジャンク品)@mntmn SWEET!!
Götz Hoffart@mntmn Which version of 7zip is this? Am asking because I keep log on multiple machines running 7zip bench, and the metrics change after version 17 …

josch@mntmn You keep posting fastfetch screenshots. Maybe reform-system-image should install a default config with colors that better fit the MNT color scheme? Also, hyfetch can make use of fastfetch data using --backend fastfetch and might have some color presets you could find interesting (see the --preset option)
@josch that's only because i couldn't remember the name "hyfetch'!

Luzzy is bunnygirl@mntmn Waiting for the previous MTN Reform model to arrive but looking at this prototype makes me wonder if I should have waited for the Next to be available for purchase
