We are pleased to announce that we have just released a new upgrade for
ARMX6 and mini.m computer owners. This upgrade enables hardware video
acceleration on the computers, unlocking extra capabilities of the i.MX6
CPU/GPU.
The new module makes desktop and command line operations up to (approx)
10x faster, although how tangible this is will vary depending on what
you're doing, and the resolution you're running in.
Of particular note, scrolling through documents is much faster, as well as
moving large windows around. Also, at the command prompt, screen
scrolling is hugely faster.
The new upgrade allows ARMX6 and mini.m to deliver some of the fastest,
smoothest desktop experiences around, at resolutions up to 4k (3840 x
2160).
Commenting on the benefits, Andrew Rawnsley said, "As screen resolutions
rise, and the average user runs at 1920x1080 or higher, hardware
acceleration makes a huge difference to the desktop experience".
The upgrade is priced at 29.99ukp (roughly 25ukp+VAT). It is available
now on !Store (look for "ARMX6 Turbo Graphics"). If you don't feel
comfortable ordering on !Store, then please phone 01925 755043 with your
credit card and it can be emailed to you (it is quite a small module).
This upgrade acts as an add-on, loaded during startup. It does not affect
your ability to install any future operating system updates, and will work
in parallel with them.
We are aware that some users may be unhappy at having to pay for an update
to their computer, but after 3 years on the market, and with high
development costs, we've found it necessary to charge on this occasion.
We feel that the performance boost that users will see in day-to-day use
is significant, and we have tried to keep the cost as low as possible.
Finally, if you wish to upgrade your screen at the same time, please phone
or email us to discuss your needs.
Best wishes,
Andrew
