First Natami MX boards produced

[DCAmiga]

I somehow doubt this machine (with case) would be around a magic £200-£300 though (i.e. original Amiga price)... [/EDIT]

The A1000 (original Amiga) retailed for 1,295 USD in September 1985 this Natami MX board is a 6 layered FPGA so yeah will be probably more then 300 pounds. If its under $1000 US I wouldnt have a prob buying one; 68k @ 133mhz, SuperAGA (100 times faster), chunky and bob modes, native amiga 3D core - tami (drool), double scanner built in, 512 MB of DDR2, onboard LAN (Gbit) and USB 2, plus much more. :rtfm:
 
Great NEWS and keep up the good work Natami, I hope the beta testing dont take too long and we can finally see some benchmarks

Yes, I probably would and why you ask ... well its simple, It is the most advanced 68K Amiga we can buy and you could plug your 4000 HD into the Natami (Via the IDE Connector) and it will work, only it will be a much more powerful machine. Natami's intentions are to be able to playback DivX, Xvid and DVD and provide enough resources and power to surf the internet and watch online videos.
Yes it will NOT compare to our Ghz Monster PC clones we all use today (except Franko ). Natami team say it will be just a good or better then a PS2 (PS2 games are still being sold atm) and just think of how many Millions (maybe billions) of dollars have been spent in R & D to get the PC where it is today. The Natami Team are regular people with regular jobs and family commitments this project is done in their spare time and using their own money for R & D. (And they havent asked anyone for funding)
So I see projects like Natami and FPGA Replay as a big step forward for Amiga and the community and as I mentioned I cant wait to see some Benchmarks. I also noticed a few people talk about speed, well I can only make refences to what i have read... Here is something I found interesting, as FPGA's come down in price more speed options will be available futher down the track.

What ballpark 68K Softcore clockrate can you get?
60 nm class - 100 MHz
40 nm class - 150 MHz
28 nm class - 200 MHz (estimate)
20 nm class - 250 MHz (estimate)
 
How does the Softcore performance translates to a real 68030 in Sysinfo?
60 nm class - 600 MHz
40 nm class - 1000 MHz
28 nm class - 1300 MHz (estimate)
20 nm class - 1500 MHz (estimate)
What memory performance can you get with such an FPGA?
60 nm class - 1000 MB/sec
40 nm class - 1500 MB/sec
28 nm class - more
20 nm class - even more
 
 
For comparison:
A 4000/040 ran at 25Mhz and reaches in the order of 30MB/sec memory throughput.
A overclocked AMIGA 68060 TurboCard runs at up to 80Mhz and reaches in the order of 80MB/sec memory throughput. Compared to these AMIGAs the Softcore will give a big performance boost!
