On June 28, 2005, IBM and Mercury Computer Systems announced a partnership agreement to build Cell-based computer systems for rack servers and PCI Express accelerator boards with Cell processors.

The deal brings together S3, maker of a line of graphic chips called Savage, with Diamond Multimedia, known for its Stealth and Viper lines of graphics accelerator boards and Supra modems.

Eventually all Macs will be designed so that add-on components made to work with IBM-compatibles such as video-accelerator boards will work with Macs, removing an obstacle that's kept away some demanding buyers in the past.

The 604 was used extensively in Apple's high-end systems and was also used in Macintosh clones, IBM's low-end RS / 6000 servers and workstations, Amiga accelerator boards, and as an embedded CPU for telecom applications.

Diamond Multimedia, well known within the computer industry for its 3-D graphic accelerator boards for PCs, made a splash in consumer electronics and the worldwide recording industry in November with its portable Rio MP3 music player.

It isn't desirable or practical to port a full operating system onto a VideoCore chip, so only the video decoding need be offloaded onto a video accelerator board ( e . g . using the BCM70015 chip ).

Amiga, Inc .'s distribution policies for AmigaOS 4.0 and any later versions require that for third-party hardware the OS must be bundled with it, with the sole exception of Amigas with Phase 5 PowerPC accelerator boards, for which the OS will be sold separately.

However, the powerful rev . 6 68060 CPU it would use did make it into a new accelerator board for the Falcon, the CT60 / CT63 series, which meant that, for the first time, the Atari platform had a CPU rated at over 100 MHz.
29.
The 68060 was the last development of the Falcon accelerator board ( CT60 / CT63 / CT60e-- CT60e was created in 2015 and is still in production ), and very late models of the Alpha Microsystems multiuser computers before their migration to x86, but Apple Inc . and the Unix world had moved onto various RISC platforms by the time the'060 was available.
30.
It is mainly based on AmigaOS 3.1 source code, with some parts of version 3.9 . Currently runs on both Amigas equipped with CyberstormPPC or BlizzardPPC accelerator boards, on the Teron series based AmigaOne computers built by Eyetech under license by Amiga, Inc ., on the bPlan GmbH, on the ACube Systems Srl Sam440ep / Sam460ex / AmigaOne 500 systems and on the A-EON AmigaOne X1000.
