Is Amiga NG underpowered?

Is Amiga NG underpowered and that is why I don't want to buy one?
I hate to troll, but the new PowerPC systems are getting old or seriously old.
Any chance of us moving to an ARM platform?

Yes. That's why they are adding SMP/AMP support!

Thanks to JIT emulation it doesn't matter what hardware you have on a Sam or X1 Amiga, a PC is going to have faster hardware. Probably an ARM computer as well.

I'm not sure 1 core of arm will be very fast.

I only picked ARM because there a not any nice OS for it. I would much rather use Amiga OS on it.

May be able to get respectable speed from 3.1?

Perfect - this post alone is enough for me to decide never ever buy anythig OS4 related, or any new version of PPaint. Your work is obvously moot, all the porting to C was pointless. Thanks for the entertainmemt, cheers.

New PPaint is also in 68k, but it's OK if you go.

I am not sure why everything needs to center on "Power, number of cores, MIPS, and the need for speed?"  Is it the whole testosterone laden argument than "Mine is bigger, faster, longer, thicker, etc." than yours?  Why can't the world be "fast enough" for us? I remember hearing, "You can't always get what you want, But if you try sometimes, well you might find, you get what you need?"

Of course I heard, "Hey! You! Get off of my cloud" too...

Think of how fast Blender would be on 2 or 4 cores?

Think how fast my home blender would be if I plugged it into 240V rather than 120V?

Better to add 1 or more motors than to blow the only one!

Yes, the Safety Zone is right next to the Bass-O-Matic; too far out and the spray of toxic bass could cause immediate death or disability.

p.s., who asks questions like that, really?

Sounds like my old truck. Feel it for 3 blocks.

One of my long string of sh**y old cars when I was younger was a 1968 Dodge Dart, Slant-6, with a glasspack.  The exhaust dumped right after that, right under the body of the car.  You'd start that thing up and it would shake the ground, people be all like "You got a 340 in that thing?!"  Haha, Slant-6 FTW.  :lol:

My old truck also has Headers and a glass pack, but I was referring to the stereo ;-)
