HyperionMP: Porting AmigaOS 4 to Cell
« on: June 07, 2005, 05:15:57 PM »
There is a statement on AmigaWorld.Net by HyperionMP (aka Ben Hermans) about porting AmigaOS 4 to Cell CPU.

If this statement is not a hoax, IMO they will face difficult hardware problems because:
1. Distribution priority: IBM (servers), Toshiba (HDTV), Sony (PS3), last Merchant Market/ OEM.
2. IBM is having yield problems on their 970/G5. I am afraid they will have similar problems with CELL.
3. Who will design the reference motherboard for merchant market?
Who will mass manufacture the motherboards?
Can the motherboard compete with X86 motherboards?

Will HyperionMP use SONY PS3 as the main hardware?
