The cache size is the most disappointing for me.
I'm sure Amiga could make do with x1 PCI-express graphics card. You could add extra sata or USB via the PCI-express slots.
It's still a toy unless they upgrade the peripheral options. Can't they add that in the design phase?

Now that it has been brought up, is there any reason not to go x86 anymore?
Surely they could borrow a lot from open source AROS.

The day started out nice. But now there is just negativity.
I thought the quiet hints at porting to x86 is what a lot of people want. We know it can be done well because of Amithlon.

The underpowered nature doesn't matter, but I sure would like to take advantage of some power.

Next time you need to post a news article about overpriced, (sought of) underpowered hardware. You need to make two separate posts. One for all the people who are interested and one for all the people who loathe it.

Nobody here is going change their mind whether they hate it or like it. But hopefully the criticism will be heard by the developers and they may steer a different course.

P.S.
Try and buy the name: Amiga 5020
That would be a lot cooler than Amiga One x
