       @mntmn with all of these flavours, will you have a comparison chart for those of us who dont completely understand pros/cons and speed differences between the processors?

       (wanted to validate that the Next is indeed future proof)

       @mntmn Which version of 7zip is this? Am asking because I keep log on multiple machines running 7zip bench, and the metrics change after version 17 …https://s1.hoffart.de/7zip-bench/

       @mntmn @davec555 Please include non-free blob status in the comparison. You are doing amazing work, so I don’t think there is any need to hide things that aren’t yet optimal.

       @mntmn it needs an efficient combustion engine🎇 or a small nuclear power supply☢️ to be future proof, sorry to say 😉

       @mntmn You keep posting fastfetch screenshots. Maybe reform-system-image should install a default config with colors that better fit the MNT color scheme? Also, hyfetch can make use of fastfetch data using --backend fastfetch and might have some color presets you could find interesting (see the --preset option)

       @mntmn Geekbench 6 please! And vs. rockchip would be interesting.

       i think the 8550 performance really hits a sweet spot between "faaast" and "not too hot". it's not exactly cheap though. anyway can't wait to get the quasars into beta and production. but first have to ship the reform next itself :D

       @mntmn I read that as "16550" and got real confused for a moment.  "Yeah, I mean, adding the FIFO was a real treat... oh wait..."

       @mntmn @davec555 Yay! Thank you. What about QCS8550? Any known blobs required for it?

       @mntmn Feel free to add an Amiga entry of your choice, our list is quite bleak there :) And as we have an Atari TT listed, the Amiga should go natural!Just make sure to use 7zip 16 or so.#7zip

       @mntmn Waiting for the previous MTN Reform model to arrive but looking at this prototype makes me wonder if I should have waited for the Next to be available for purchase :blobcatheadache:
