• Pi 5 comes to RCI's Hydra and N.Ex.T

    From Andrew Rawnsley@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 22 16:15:02 2025
    We are pleased to announce that Pi 5 technology is now available in our
    Hydra computers, and as an optional add-on for N.Ex.T boxes.

    The 64-bit only Pi 5 offers a significant performance boost over the
    previous generation, with improvements to processing, but also storage and general server capabilities. As such, it offers a noticeable upgrade to
    the Hydra, making additional heads both faster and smoother, as well as improving file sharing performance.

    Sadly RISC OS remains on the 32bit generation, but this new upgrade means
    that Linux Hydra heads don't need to restricted by the 32bit needs of RISC
    OS, blending the high performance Pi 5 technology with RISC OS 32bit
    needs. Of course, adventurous users could try out "RISC OS for Linux" on
    the Pi5 head, too.

    For N.Ex.T Box users, there's the option to expand, adding a Pi5 head to
    an existing RISC OS machine. This gives the option of running mainstream software such as LibreOffice, Chrome(ium), FireFox etc within your RISC OS desktop.

    Why not come and check it all out at the RISC OS North show next weekend?

    Best wishes,

    Andrew
