[Cerowrt-devel] another contender for WNDR replacement

[Dave Taht]

oh, they are using a nice ethernet chip from intel? That will help.

I did feel the apu1c was improvable, but the intel "dma to cache"
since ivy bridge feature is a tremendous advantage for intel chips.

Sigh, more benchmarking....

The AMD Jaguar SoC is supposedly more powerfull then the AMD G series T40E in the pc-engines api-1d ( http://www.pcengines.ch/apu1d.htm ) that was not that hot network wise ( http://planet.ipfire.org/post/pc-engines-apu1c-a-review ). Improvements include twice the L2, slightly faster DRAM, slightly tweaked core, an potentially “turbo” up to 1.6Ghz from 1GHz base, intel GE chip i211 with BQL support. Downside the intel AC wifi card most likely will not allow proper tweaking (so maybe not suited for the make-wifi-fast project)
