Could this be your next "Amiga"?

Dual Core A9 ARM, FPGA and a 16 core general purpose soc... USB/HDMI/GB Ethernet... Sounds like a sweet deal to me ;)

ARM AROS only. Would be nice to have MOS/AOS4 for it, but way impossible for now.

What is 16 or 64-core Epiphany Multicore Accelerator?????

Yup, it is sort of a supercharged Raspberry Pi so AROS wouldn't be a problem... With that FPGA, Amiga chipset emulation would be possible (if desirable... Software emu might actually be better), and the Epiphany chip is a multicore general purpose processing chip... :)

If everything goes right I should have one before end of the summer. Curious to know how long summers last in America :)

While ARM offers an attractive, low cost alternative, this is probaby my next Amiga.

In our humidity laden area, they last too long.
From June until the end of September is typical.

Its pretty clear Trevor is not going to be able to offer this at a significantly lower price.
It would be nice if someone looked into the T1040 and T1042 (or the T2080).

Yeah, but in the Summer you frequently have cooler, lower humidity days than we do in the Mid-Atlantic.
Not fair.

No doubt hosted under Linux (and then AROS is still probably limited to one core).

Why does the IBM Power 7 have such miserly performance?

It's okay but don't you need software than is designed to take advantage of parallel processing?

Because benchmarks aren't that reliable a gauge of performance?

You know, the Zynq7020 version looks promising.
Although the Parallella64 would make it more so.
