Amithlon... HELP!

[Kronos]

"I've never used AmigaOS before? Does it need 1gb HD space on x86?"  "Did AmigaOS start up under Amithlon?"

Oh no we don't want that, because it would mean we had a NEW
user for AmigaOS .....

Lets face it, "classic" are to old an expensive to be of any
real use today (for someone new to Amiga).

The A1 can't be used as an Amiga atm, isn't really shipping
and the entry-price is much to high for a great part of those who
might be interested.

The Peg can be used as an Amiga, but availabilty is running out,
and everybody who owns one gets a certain target for hatred just
like those using Amithlon ....

Amithlon made people continue to use AmigaOS who otherwise would
have left due the delays and delays on the PPC-systems.

Same goes for lots of developers, and the decision to do a
special x86 should be based on possible sales, not on fanatism.

I also fail to remember anybody ever demanding x86 code in SW-products,
only that developers shouldn't forget Amithlon-user, by making
PPC-only SW.

Ta-sching  :-P

@Lombi
1) the MOS-JIT is still only availablöe for those under NDA
(unlike me) and those aren't allowed to give any details.

2) Sure it gets beaten in CPU-intensive tasks, which is no
suprise when you look at the CPUs typical used for Amithlomn.

3) SW doing lots of GFX is faster due the direct access via CGX5
instead of going through the "mess" of CGX-emu,GFX/layers,P96
and linux-drivers.

4) SW calling lots of OS-functions (like for example GoldEd )
run faster because of the native OS, somthing Amithlon lacks.

And yes I got both systems (G3 and AthlonXP1600) so I DO know
what I'm talking about.

6x faster doing what ? Cracking RC5, or some other stupid benchmark ?
