PPC 970: Apple, Thendic, Eyetech

[asian1]

Hi
Thendic had announced possibillity of using IBM PowerPC 970 in the next generation of Pegasos board (MorphOS-News).
Apple plan to use Motorola G5 (Register).
Any news / announcement about the possible CPU for the future Eyetech / Amiga Inc boards?

From MorphOS-News:

"Concerning the new PowerPC970: today it is not possible to use this CPU with the Pegasos; however in the future it will be. We do not have a sample yet!
We cannot offer it to you until IBM releases the product commercially. We have a close relationship with IBM (and Motorola) and we do get samples of new chips to test them well ahead of product releases, but we do not have samples of this CPU yet. It should not be too much trouble for us to gets this running. The engineering that supports a product like this is at the highest professional level and the documentation is very good making our job much easier."

>16 CPU PPC970

I hope this machine can be partitioned, similar to IBM 16 CPU Pentium Xeon machine. The Partitioned machine can run several different OS on separate CPU at the same time.

PPC970 is 64 Bit PowerPC and I hope Amiga Inc can reach an agreement with IBM on porting AIX to the future Amiga motherboard (similar to Bull agreement).

There are several serious applications for AIX OS such as RDBMS, HRD, Accounting, Back Office etc.
