Sometimes, taking one step at a time is the best way
forward.
The festive Chimera Christmas Cracker takes the best
elements of the Chimera, and compacts them into a
rounded but fully formed beast - ideal for RISC OS! At
only 65mm deep, this sleek dark and brooding beast is
slim enough to hide, whilst always being ready to
pounce.
By making use of 4GB of DDR4 memory as standard,
the festive Chimera makes the most of the efficiency of
RISC OS lightweight resource requirements. In addition,
adding up to five other Compute Modules , 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 the operating systems And oodles of it,
too! 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 up to FIVE 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 onscreen.
