| 11:20 | topi` | jnettlet: I wonder why the ARM SoC vendors won't bother adding a second DDR channel... it can't cost that much, can it? |
| 11:21 | topi` | the high-end designs, like Exynos 8, all do it, but if you look specifically at the industrial-oriented parts |
| 11:21 | topi` | or was it rabeeh who was talking about DDR channels :) |
| 11:21 | topi` | I think even i.MX6 would benefit from a second DDR3 channel |
| 11:22 | topi` | although the cortex-a9 cores are rather wimpy... I bet the Atom arch has much better branch prediction, etc. |
| 11:23 | topi` | The A9 still fits well certain I/O workloads. Like all things NAS |
| 11:39 | jnettlet | topi`, I think we both were |
| 11:40 | jnettlet | I believe the iMX6 can run in dual channel mode if you are running DDR2 |
| 11:40 | jnettlet | but ultimately DDR3 in single channel mode is basically just as fast. |
| 11:40 | jnettlet | and I think that answers the questions. 4 years ago DDR3 single channel was just as fast as DDR2 dual channel and used less power |
| 11:41 | jnettlet | Trying to compare the current x86 chips to the MX6 is too much of a technology age gap |
| 11:42 | jnettlet | yep the MX6 still beats the Braswell in power consumption and IO |
| 23:32 | Solidfun | hi all |
| 23:33 | Solidfun | i'm playing with my new cubox ix4-pro |
| 23:33 | Solidfun | but i'm unable to find a working android image |
| 23:33 | Solidfun | someone know where i can find a working one? |
| 23:34 | Solidfun | KK 3.0 don't start on my ix4-pro |
| 23:37 | Solidfun | please no more than 1 answer by hour :-) |
