So...basically Amiga caught up to the rest of the PC market ?
The advantage of a 64 bit operating system over a 32 bit operating system comes down to only being twice the headache.

I like the ball logo on the case :)

According to the Wikipedia's article the CPU was made by P.A. Semi, now owned by Apple.

Funny.

Very awesome!! :shock:

I remember back in the day coding in Blitz Basic 2 (when i was a teenager!) on my beloved A1200 with 68030 (50Mhz), 2 meg chip and 16 meg fast ram - shat all over the "cutting edge" Pentium 100's at the time in terms of performance. I even chiseled a slot in the side of the Amiga and had an IDE cable running from it into an empty PC case which housed my hard drives and cdrom :) (it was connected to the internet via 56K modem too! MIAMI anyone lol) ahh *fond memories :)

The technology in the new X1000 is nothing less than awseome and has enormous potential, for example:
The Xena could be programmed to hardware emulate any cpu architecture!! (with 8 realtime threads thats the potential to emulate upto 8 custom chips simultaneously!) and not eat into the main dual core CPU, how cool would that be!

Yah, this custom chip idea gives something more to this computer. The interview is here : http://obligement.free.fr/articles_trad ... son_en.php

Amiga + BBC + Commodore + Tulip Computers = get popular or die trying
There is a difference between knowing the code and writing the code.
May the code be strong in your projects.

So when is PB going to be ported for this Amiga? :)

PB 4.00 Amiga version should work fine :) but PB 4.50 will need to be ported.

I wonder how difficult it would be to wrap Windows User32.dll and such libraries into Amiga OS equivalents? The X1000's dual core supports virtualization too so combined with the realtime hardware emulation capabilities of the Xena it should be possible to run Windows exe's (with little impact on the dual core) with instructions real-time translated and natively executed on the dual core! :D

$$$ Price $$$ = This is what will hold this back. The price is more than even Mac models... The bassic consumer only looks at the Dollar sign (or pound sign, or Cfm or RenMenBi etc.) when considering his/her purchase!

I have a copy of a "research" Amiga OS operating on a PPC Mac G4... Nice... reminds me of GEM and BSD at the same time! :mrgreen:

So in the end, this is a PC with AmigaOS...
Why not just buy the AmigaOS for Intel?
