Hello Raquel and Biil :)

This is some good news....

But I have a question :
Is there a chance to have any videos showing the MX Efika working with some programs, in particular with the Cloud City:). Just as was the case with promotion Efika 5200B. I am interested in new Efika. I Would be nice to see it in action

Neither.

i.MX51 has 2D and 3D acceleration cores from AMD/ATI. Download the reference manual here for more details:

The 2D IP is Z160/G12, the 3D is Z430 (ATI Yamato DX)

thank you very much. that's what i expected, but that article i referred to earlier really threw in a conundrum.

ps: qualcomm are the current owner of the AMD mobile gpu division.

It supports the following analog video outputs: composite, S-video, and component video up to HD720p/1080i.
I couldn't find information for the HDMI output. Can I a use 1920x1200@60Hz output for my regular LCD connect by DVI?

Regards,

Markus

i asked a while ago and if i remember correctly, matt said you could have a desktop with that size but video would be 720.

HDMI [...] will allow 1920x1080@30Hz (1080i) operation [...]
Too bad.. :-(

I would have bought it, if the GPU would be better supported, i.e. open source drivers! Maybe I'm spoiled with my Intel and Radeon graphics cards...

yes, i am somewhat dissapointed too. but i will most likely buy when and if i find some cash.

This is unfair! Where does it say that the EfikaMX is a regular desktop computer? Moreso, I don't think high definition video would change anyone's life...

why cant it be a desktop ? high def video isnt a requirement, but would be nice incase someone does find some high def video. and i think high def displays are becoming the norm for the desktop.

Hi.

Because of the simple reason that it is not powerful enough to be a fully fledged desktop.
It can handle 1680x1050, which is enough for thin client use (http://projects.powerdeveloper.org/project/imx515/731), and pretty much a lot of other things that come to mind.

If you want to be able to have a be all end all desktop, with 1080p capabilities etc, get a high end PC with a couple of graphics cards a nice Quad Core, 8Gig or more of ram and a beast of a power supply.

It's not what this device is targeted at, just like the first Efika wasn't. It's a low power computing device, which performs excellent for what it is intended to do.
