You voted for it and here it is, the FEZ Raptor. Last week we asked you, the community, to vote on the name of a new Gadgeteer G400-S mainboard being released. The community member whose suggested name survived the final vote is BlackDogSpark. If you read the forum post you will see that Josh, a GHI employee had posted the name first but we didnt want him to win (shhh dont tell him) so we came across BlackDogSpark who had mentioned it a few pages later.
The new FEZ Raptor is based on the new and all powerful G400-S, making it the most powerful Gadgeteer mainboard yet. With 400Mhz, 128MB of RAM and 18 Gadgeteering sockets, it will surely be able to satisfy your most complex needs. Depending on the software, the G400 is 400Mhz with DDR memory and plenty of cache can be more than six times faster than the 200Mhz FEZ Hydra and up to 30 times faster than 72Mhz FEZ Spider.
FEZ Raptor is in prototyping now, with an early bird special available to our insiders. It is expected to be in full production in October 2013.
Man, it just gets better and better! Only problem is that since I discovered Gadgeteer, my marriage under threat. (Apparently I spent too much time playing with my new toys. And I still have a couple left that I haven’t even touched yet).
But seriously… this will be one great main board. Can’t wait to order one.
Ha ha. Same here (spending time bit) but lucky to have an understanding SWMBO and as long as I leave my toys alone at the weekends I am allow as much time during the week as I want.
Wonder how many split ups have been attributed to it though?
