This has been mentioned before as well. I think it was something along the lines of "the PPC chip they chose was incompatible with any of the other Amiga PPC hardware or software". Useless. :(  I could be wrong, though! ;)


It uses the same core as Tabor so we'll wait and see how that performs although they did say they were considered using a different processor after receiving feedback from the community.  There are much better choices available now too.

ppc was an attempted (and failed) solution for lack of further development on 68k front.


I hardly call PPC a failed attempt.  It was held its own against Intel hardware for quite some time and it was used in mainstream computing hardware up until 2006.
