Amiga-news.de reports about a new mini ITX mainboard by Acube and Aeon.
Two cores, 1.2 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and between 700-1200 EUR.

I regularly read that OS4 is not A-Cube's main market, and they mostly sell their PPC boards to the embedded market.  Is there any proof of this, or is it just a forum urban-legend?

I asked that question several times over the recent years, too and never got much evidence tehy significantly sell to teh embedded market.
At least they tried to get more active on the embedded market as they partnered up with MasEletronica a few years ago. And indeed Acube is still listed as partner at MasElettronica's hp, but bo Acube products are listed by MasElettronica. All  in all I guess Acube is a part time biz focusing very much at the Amiga ppl but also a few non Amiga related sales.

I am also sure, that Acube and A-EON, would not produce a product, with out solutions to, what ever, problems could arise.

Like providing drivers for inbuild devices in a narrow time scale? Impressive track record i that regard...

I have run AmigOS 4.1 update6 on Sam440ep-Flex,FE on Sam460ex.
Linux on both Sams and the Tabor.
I have run Both the Special FPE Debian on the Tabor and the regular
Debian with the emulated floating point on the Tabor.
The Tabor is much faster than the Sams under Linux .

Would the Tabor still be much faster than Sam if you disable one of teh two p1022 cores? I mean it's no wonder that an SMP aware OS is faster on a system with two cores than on a system woth one core.
