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/

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!

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

Post by: kreciu on February 18, 2022, 12:59:27 PM: 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

Post by: kreciu on February 22, 2022, 06:34:26 PM: 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.
