Two heads are better than one. The Chimera is as powerful as it’s mythological counterpart.Chimera makes the most of it's mythical namesake, employing it's unique, multiple heads to best effect when combined. Chimera amalgamates it's two heads to form a special partnership drawing the very best from RISC OS, when utilising the powerful Linux partner alongside. At only 45mm deep, this sleek metallic beast is slim enough to hide, whilst always being ready to pounce.By making use of 6GB of DDR4 memory as standard, Chimera combines the efficiency of RISC OS lightweight resource requirements, with the versatile behemoth that is Linux. In addition, using multiple ARM cores, overclocked to more than 2GHz, to process data in parallel, means that it can manage huge numbers of instructions in a heartbeat.By using the very latest in storage technology, and by bringing that technology to RISC OS, Chimera harnesses super-fast NVMe storage to the best advantage of both operating systems. And oodles of it, too, with dedicated and shared storage available to both. Add in a sprinkle of eMMC for RISC OS and you have a beast with very solid performance.Chimera's unique blend of the two front facing heads is optionally complemented by other ferocious rear heads - maybe running a 26bit RISC OS emulator for retro computing purposes, a development head to keep all of your programming work safe, or even a Compute Module 5 head for extra power under Linux.Utilising the flexibility and speed of RISC OS, combined with the processing power and robust storage, the Chimera helps you become a more efficient RISC OS user. Not to mention 4k resolutions for extreme productivity. Throw in access to Linux apps, and optionally 26bit RISC OS environments, and it’s a positive RISC OS powerhouse.Technical SpecificationProcessor Speed: 2GHz (overclockable to up to 2.1GHz)Memory: 2GB RISC OS and 4GB for LinuxSSD Storage: 256GB for RISC OS and 256GB for LinuxNetworking: Gigabit Ethernet port and integrated WIFI optionsUSB ports: 4 externalAudio/Video:RISC OS audio over HDMILinux audio via multimedia appTwin full sized HDMI portsUp to 3840x2160 HDMI graphicseMMC: 32GB for RISC OSOS and Software:RISC OS 5 plus over 2GB of RISC OS Software as standardCase:Aluminium ultra-thin case - 200mm x 200mm x 45mmActivity and Power Indicator LEDsPower buttonOptions:Double RAM for RISC OS or LinuxCommercial software pack (worth over £500) 1TB NVMe Drive for any head (upgrade from 256GB)
