Warp 7060 progress

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.

  1. This is great news!
    Any chance in the future for the L2 cache to grow to 128 K ?

    1. 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 🙂

      1. Understood. Thank you for the reply.

  2. 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! 👍

    1. 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.

      1. 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..?
