At the Amiga 40 event, we planned for the Warp7060 to be available before Christmas, but we didn’t have enough time (no one expected that! 😉). The work is still in progress: the PCB has been redesigned, and we’re now waiting for the pre-production batch to be shipped to us.
The first prototype is already working, and we’re currently updating the firmware to support the new L2 cache architecture (as in the other models).
The board will be available in Q1 2026.
This is great news!
Any chance in the future for the L2 cache to grow to 128 K ?
t is possible, but it is not planned in the near future. The L2 cache uses the Artix FPGA’s internal low-latency RAM, and this memory is also required for several other components such as the DMA FIFO, RTG buffers, ARM communication, and others.
It’s possible that in future versions, some optimizations could free up more RAM for the L2 cache. However, increasing the L2 size from 96 kB to 128 kB would not provide a noticeable performance boost for the vast majority of workloads. Even with the last update, most of the performance gain did not come from increasing the L2 cache from 64 kB to 96 kB, but from a complete redesign of the cache architecture.
In short, the current firmware version is definitely not the final one, and if we find a way to further improve the L2 subsystem, we will certainly do so at some point 🙂
Understood. Thank you for the reply.
Very interesting. How stable do you expect the card to be on the Amiga 3000 with its SCSI controller enabled? Unfortunately there is not a single 68060 card that works reliably on the A3000 in 2026 – especially if you want to keep using the original SCSI controller.
Crossing my fingers that you’ve had the A3000 in mind from the beginning. Of that’s the case I’ll absolutely consider buying a card! 👍
I’m currently testing pre-production card in my A3000. I don’t see any problems. On board SCSI is enabled and used (I have BlueSCSI connected). DMA transfers are working.
Excellent, and thank you for your reply. I can’t find any specifications, though. Searching for the card on Google gives no results apart from this page. May I please ask if you have an actual product page, or a press release..?
Do you have an idea what the speed is like compared with the other 100MHz 060 cards (TF4060, Z3660, BFG9600)?
It’s the same CPU, so real-world performance will be very similar. I don’t have the time to run or track every benchmark. The BFG9600 has lower memory latency, so it can be a bit faster in some workloads.
On the other hand, Warp has an L2 cache, which largely mitigates memory-latency issues and additionally gives you a lot in a single package: a fast CPU, RTG graphics, fast storage, USB, a 16-bit audio codec, hardware MP3 decoding, and a network interface.
The Warp7060 project is very close to completion, so if you’re not sure which product best suits your needs, it might be worth waiting a little. I’m sure there will be at least a couple of reviews once the first units are shipped.
By now there is some preview info on FB including benchmarks:

Does that still hold?
The first cards were sent to beta testers, and they noticed some issues with the A4000 onboard IDE. We didn’t see this on our A4000, but it turns out that on older A4000 motherboards the problem is caused by signal edges on the address bus being too fast.
The issue has already been fixed, and the cards will be resent to the beta testers soon. Once we get confirmation that everything is working properly, we’ll be ready to accept the first orders.
