FPGA Amiga

What I see here are three groups of users.

One is advanced 68k users who get that they will get better results by using 68060 with faster RAM.

Second are ppc haters who never ever admit that vampire is failure, because vampire is their last hope to kick ass ppc.

And last casual 68k users who buy vampire because it was cheaper than 68060.

OMG!!!

I dont expect it is so bad. MMU not works, FPU is supr sloooow.
But this???

My advice: forget about vampire, use ppc, it is many times faster, it has working MMU, FPU, and You can execute program step by step under gdb.

I wonder what people would say if a company had launched the 68080 SoC as an ASIC ...

Correct answser on this question is:
 if natami/apollo/vampire will be as it was announced in 2008 - 2D/3D ps2 graphics performance, cpu at least as fast as slowest NG hardware and fully compatible, for 100 E only, people will be happy with it.
   In 2018 vampire has 68060 50 MHz integer performance, 12 times worse floating point performance than 68060 50 MHz, has no MMU, has no 3D support.  
Advantages over old 68060 cards for amiga are: faster RAM and faster 2D graphics.
  At current price, performance, compatibility vampire is not attractive to amiga ng users, and advanced classic users.
It is simple, nobody want to change hardware to worse and pay for it.

There are no attacks on the vampire.
Just some unsatisfied customers express their opinion about this crap.
Instead of announced second coming of Jay Miner, there is cheaper 68060, with faster RAM, but slower FPU, no MMU and 3D.
