Utilite Quad Core ARM Cortex PC

I assume that when you say "more successful" you mean that there are more of them. The fact that a clone is more numerous than that from which it was cloned is hardly surprising, and doesn't stop it being a clone

The z80 is still around as an embedded processor. It may actually outnumber x86. Would be interesting to see some stats.

Interestingly, Wikipedia say the z80 was designed to be binary compatible with the 8080, which influenced the design of the 8086 (also binary compatible) so it's more a case of common ancestry than cloning by the sound of it.

It's not a clone if it's more successful...

We all know that LOOPZ is just DJNZ in drag

Doesn't matter how you dress them up, they're just big Z80 clones

Thankfully not, I wouldn't want to be using a quad core ZX80 now, the horrible keyboard would be too much

My point is that it's a new ARM toy for my collection.

Perhaps you should stick to some simplers toys for the next 15-20 years -

Looks like after marriage you can't afford Intel kit anymore.

Last CPU I've ordered had 10 proper cores...

8086 cores?

More like Pentium class, and most likely not 250 but around 50-60.

Last Intel I played with had 250 8086 cores. you're confusing hobby with work again my little commie chum!

Bit chunky isn't it?

I saw these the other day. Looks kind of cool.

Hi,

In English, how good are these compared to the equivalent laptop/desktop?
