What's the next speedbump?
« on: January 17, 2003, 02:47:48 PM »
Well?

I know that the Xe's aren't deliverd yet but sice I don't really have anything better to do right now I thought I'd try to fire up a speculation thread, what will come after the 800Mhz -Xe?

a dual 800Mhz-G4 could be fine or a 1Ghz-G4?

Rumour has it that a certain developer has a dual G4 AmigaOne, so perhaps something along the lines of that?

AmigaOS4.x for IBM PPC based kit would be rather fine.

Logical enough...

I`m still looking forward to the CELL technology ,that will deliver 100ghz (perhaps next year?) :-D

@Blomberg

Yes I've heard about that, I just hope that it will be a dual 7455 and not the dual 7450 that I've heard that "certain developer" has got.

IMHO normal users ithink prefers a 1Ghz or more CPU and power users prefer dual CPU's

8x AGP, like 5-6 66mhz PCI slots and faster CPU would make sense. of course, software has to support 8x AGP and all rendering units in gfx-cards too to take full advantage of it.

I hope Eyetech do not bring too many options to the market. And I hope they give XE CPU slot specs to Mac PPC accelerator manufacturers ASAP.

I would like see a high volume low end CPU version and a low volume super high end version.  So that develoment and production effors wold not become too divided.

I hope AmigaOneSE will not go into production any more. And I hope the 700FX will be the next minimum, or perhaps the 800Mhz G4. The "super high end" CPU card should be let to be produced by some competent Mac accelerator manufacturer. Dual 1Ghz or Dual 1.25Mhz should be targetted...

I would also like to see Radeon8500 as the officially endorsed minimum GFX card.

**********

At some point after AOS4 is ready it would be great if IBM would develop at least a more advanced north bridge... perhaps they could also be convinced to start producing a speedy PPC motherboard for Amiga and PPC linux communities (as well as to their industry partners...).

Just a thought, wouldent make sense to make some kind of a "pro user" Amiga  like "the AmigaOne -Fx" that has got , firewire800, USB 2.0, AGP 8x, dual CPU...
I mean so that we atleast have something that truly is top notch in the PPC world, even if it would be expensive, to draw atention.

I mean is not that the reason that, for exampel, Mazda has developed the Rx -8  to have a "consumer magnet" in the sense that they've created it only for the purpose to,
a) give greater credebillety to the brand name
b) have something to draw people that weren't initially thinking of going for Mazda to wind up in the showrooms so that they(Mazda) can promote the more "resonable" products to them and thus gaining a larger consumerbase?

And last but not least  it would be nice to have something that could be compared to the best PPC computers in the word (PowerMac vs AmigaOne).

@reject72

What good would DDR memory do at this point exept of giving Amigas the opportunety to say we've got DDR-RAM on our Miggys?
Unless of course if Moto decides to release new DDR fsb processors, but I doubt that that will happen any time soon.

Right, but I think forward looking to the PPC 970 it would be useful.
