And even at 500 MHz?
Quote:68060 is a retro CPU
If we'd assume anything from 1994 is old enough to be retro.
Quote:Anything that has capacities 1/100 of that is a deep deep retro.
Then SUDDENLY it is no more about some old hw but just some 'capacities'.
Quote:a 1989-class PC with 386 @ 28Mhz and 4MB RAM with a VGA card is retro, isn't it
If 1989 is already a retro.
Quote:Next is much much weaker than a 386
nёxt is not from 1989, nёxt has some gfx hw more advanced than primitive VGA.
Definitely not retro by date, either not retro even by (loosely) defined 'capacities' comparison.
Quote:has poorer resolution
orly? Poorer HDMI resolution than gross 28MHz pixelclock super-modern VGA has?
Quote:less memory.
Less than 4 Mb? Really? Even zx evolution from 2009 had all the way its 4 MB (not retro BTW). What a greedy MFs must be those who created nёxt then.
Quote:Calling Next a "modern computer" is ridiculous.
Calling it "retro" is crazy.
Quote:It is still an 8-bit design
So 8bit is necessary and sufficient to be 100% retro? Or what? - isokadded on the 2025-11-26 21:10:29

What would you call Next, then?
I'm not here to invent names, I just wanted to point that it is definitely *not* retro.
Quote:Certainly not a modern computer
Then some fantasy 'consoles' are also definitely not a 'modern computer', nor a retro as well. Or are they?
Quote:The 8 bit machine is much, much weaker (like 100,000x slower) than the weakest smartphone you can buy.
Which still does not make it retro. Imagine going into some superscalar Z80 running at 50 MHz with IPC of 2..3. Still retro?
Quote:It is as retro as the Sprinter, ZX Evo
Sprinter, as architecture, was completed to the end of 90ies/beginning of 2000ies. No significant changes ever since. So if we'd agree that something from 1999 is retro then Sprinter definitely is.
ZX Evo with base config *mostly* emulates the features of the older design that comes from 1991, thus as well *mostly* retro.
Some other ZX Evo's config, in this relation, is very much like NЁXT (having some crazy far-fetched gfx features), thus not a retro again (unless we'd say 2013 is already retro).
Finally, for NЁXT even the the date of its appearance, does not make it retro. - isokadded on the 2025-11-17 10:57:15

- I'm still wondering when did NЁXT become retro (according to the compo this was shown at)
