Do you approve of PPC (in some form) as the future of Amiga?

It's not a good desktop CPU, it's designed for consoles.  Then I do not think Toshiba (since they bought Sony's share of cell production) is selling it to anyone else but Sony.  So unless IBM is producing new cores to keep up with x86_64 multi cores, Freescale and others are going to keep repackaging the cores they have licenses for.  Freescale is pushing ARM for a reason. ;-)

Freescale just recently released the brand new e5500 core.

Nobody is pushing ARM for anything other than mobile devices.

I would vote for this, intels newest, an 80 core cpu.
 
Say what you want about intel, they have a future, they are not stuck in place like the ppc is.
 
PPC fans, can you match an 80 core processor that will become available for
early adopters in 5 years from now? 12 years ago moving amiga to ppc was a good idea. Today, there is no future in ppc.

Intel's newest is 4 years old, and it was a research project.

An 80 core CPU is useless for the desktop.

At one time it was available from an AT ftp server, an "oversight". IIRC it was this that allowed Olaf Barthel to get his copy.

Olaf Barthel was hired by Amiga Technologies GmbH to organize the source code from the Commodore backup tapes.
