Hi everyone,
Just visited the website of ACube and it is now possible to pre-order a Sam460LE! :)
Wrote a post about it on my blog here: https://oldschoolgameblog.com/2022/02/15/sam460le-1-10-ghz-pre-order/
More info here: https://shop.acube-systems.biz/sam-motherboards/122-sam460ex.html
Sam460LE (Limited Edition) is a PowerPC motherboard engineered and produced by ACube Systems and it is totally made in Italy.
The Sam460LE bundle contains:
Micro-ATX form factor motherboard, with enough space for double slot graphic cards ;-)
MicroSD Slot at the rear of the board, so it can operated from the back.
1 backplate
7 USB ports
Gigabit ethernet
4 usable boot media
and more...
The Sam460LE supports 3 expansion slots: PCI, PCIe 1x and PCIe 4x.

I know economies of scale etc etc.
But 789 Euros for mobo and processor. .......

First I thought that I buy one right a way, but then I realiced, that 289€ is just for a preorder.
Total prize with VAT is :
902€
That is just no way! It is perfectly possible produce PPC hardware much more cheaper prices. That has been proven many times.
And this even doesn't have ram included!

This should of been April 1st news . What a joke crazy price for a motherboard that is well out of date now.

no one is forcing you to buy one... and bear in mind it is not manufactured in China as everything else you have at hand
-
Its manufactured by pixies in avalon by those prices

I pre-ordered mine. Still good price, considering I can run Amiga OS 4.1 quite well. Right now I have A1200... 060 + Mediator. It will be night and day difference.

you can’t even buy a decent Amiga 1200 or 4000 with 060 for that price nowadays

Exactly. I had BPPC and Amiga OS4.1 worked and nothing more. What is today price of BPPC? Considering that perspective Sam460 is amazing 😍. Sam460 is perfectly fine for basic work with Amiga OS4.1 for sure. BTW. How many MIPS SAM460 has? I can't find any benchmarks, like Sam460 vs CPPC etc.
