Don't stop to put 512MB in. 128MB is plenty. I want to use it mostly for FPS and some limited internet.

Although, how about the addition of virtual memory on a solid state drive? That would be a modern solution to extra memory.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to do a production run of low end cards first? High end cards should be pre-order.

Go with a virtual memory solution... Solid state drives are one dollar a gigabyte.

I just decided it would be better to lock this thread than continue. Not funny.

I'm pretty sure 64-bit (memory) addressing is different from running 64-bit instructions.
I suppose it would be another speed boost for any software ported to a 64-bit 68k.

If you want more RAM use a big box Amiga. Otherwise there is an emulator that costs nothing.

If you are going to the next step in 68k. How much of a speed boost would you get by adding more math units on the chip?

As far as I know an 040 and 060 has a single branch to execute floating point operations. If you had three branches or more would you get some seriously fast math operations. If not what would limit it?

That might be fine for a CPU, but FPGAs are designed differently and may not get an advantage from CPU improvements.

@ Matthey
Could you tell us why you need an ASIC so badly? There is only one coldfire accelerator card for an Atari.

Seriously a $50 ras pi, must be a better choice for embedded systems. I don't feel a sudden need to control something from AmigaOS

ElPolloDiabl · « **Reply #10 on:** February 15, 2015, 01:35:48 AM »

Adding more registers is fine with me. Is it possible to maintain coldfire compatibility as well?
How about you compile for compatible mode or Vampire core on the software side.

@ above
Is it possible to build something like an Amiga on a chip? You could start with something small that would sell in great numbers, then you could move to an Amiga games console.

Most of us here have no interest in spending the heaps of dollars to get an ASIC developed.
There is such a lack of modern software, you would not get new customers.
Maybe at a later date when there are more potential buyers it might be nice to do.

It would be funny if progress stopped because we needed to make it Linux compatible. Then in 5 years we will still be using 030s and 060s. No FPGA accelerators.
