Announcing RB333 and RB192, two new RouterBOARD products beginning to reach distributors at the end of next week!
http://www.routerboard.com/pdf/rb192b.pdf
http://www.routerboard.com/pdf/rb333b.pdf
For now, limited availability only, ask for samples at our distributors.
Very interesting.
Are there any (exact or approximate) performance benchmarks on
“PowerPC E300 266/333MHz CPU” compared to x86, MIPs, etc?

Watch the roadmap movies on tiktube, maybe you will get some info there. It would be interested if they can perform wire-speed. I’m not sure if I heard right, but I think they said on the movie that RB-1000 support wire-speed on its gigabit ports.
I’m more interested on the co-processor … would it be used for encryption? Hmmmm …
Glad to see more info on the RB333 - thank you. I look forward to seeing it at distributors and hearing results from early users.

Those pictures look familiar.. It’s funny seeing how much they get around and how many different companies stick their name on them..

i’d say RB333 was worth waiting
edit, if talking about its speed

It does ethernet processing tasks to take load off the main CPU. It’s new advanced technology. In future we might give it more tasks.
Very smart move. Many of the “big boys” put such “accelerators” or “TCP offload engines” on their line cards.
I wonder about creating a PCI-express add-in cards for accelerating x86 / Core2Duo / Core2Quad -base routers?
There’s an idea …

As said in the roadmap presentation (see tiktube video), we are also working on pci-express products.
Janisk,
I am awaiting my first badge of 333’s and i am of course very excited about the product after what i have read here and heard at the MUM’s.. Now, i am a very impatient guy with lots of questions from my customers, so can you give some examples of how well it performs, perhaps some internal benchmark tests? Also one very big issue here is the possibility to do a decent Dual N-Streme setup with this board, do you have any numbers you want to share?

depending on packet size ethernet performance can be maximum interface allows (297Mbps: eg. 3x100) and around 70000pps can be achieved.
When is RB600 gonna be available? In urgent need of such a board to bear daughter-board with multiple ethernet. RB532r5 just too slow for needed Task…

Has the team at Mikrotik tested to see if the RB333 can run Nstreme2 at the full speed of the miniPCI radios in turbo mode?

I would also like to enquire about the ETA of the RB600 and RB1000.
I would also like to know how many SR5 or XR5’s can be installed on the same RB600, if a 7aH/12VDC power supply is being used.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Very interesting product. Can’t wait to see the benchmarks.
One question I have…
Regarding the Tripleshot MPCI slots, are they raised enough to accommodate more then one XR card?

actually only two fill fit, with one other (slimmer) card in the middle. there is a cooler place on the side, so no worries about heat.
there is no problem with other cards, including R52H cards

Hi Normis
What is the R52H card you referred to? Is it an upgrade to the normal R52 cards? I haven’t seen anything on them at routerboard.com .
Re, G
I too like Jober would like to know if the RB333 will can do Nstream2. If so orders are on the way.
