But this makes me think that the AmigaOne (or the Pegasos) is just like this new PPC platform : nothing original.
Nothing wrong with multiple HW platform distributions.
Just take a PC and replace the x86 compatible and some electronic chips and you get it.
It worked with X86 world. Why not fight clones with clones?
When Amiga came out in the 80's the hardware was so interesting. I'd like to see a computer with some kind of terrific hardware again.
Well, during middle 80s you don’t have nVidia style companies…
At present we only get interesting hardware in game consoles. But they remain consoles !
They not remain consoles for most part.
I recall X-Box's GPU (NV2A) was a variant of Geforce3(NV20). Nvidia’s nForce1/2 chipset is a variant of X-BOX’s chipset, which also designed by nVidia.
Nintendo Game Cube’s VPU is being supplied by ATI (ArtX based chip, comparable to DirectX 7 class).
ATI’s Radon series (DirectX 8/9 class) would considered superior compared to ATI/ArtX’s VPU chip.
Most of today’s leading edge console graphics technologies are being powered by the giant desktop graphics providers (mostly from X86 world e.g. ATI and nVidia).
