Amiga.org Interview : Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco (6/30/03)

I remember you stating that a Pegasos with a G3 would outpreform an AmigaOne with a G4. No one has reported any speed issues yet.. Can you elaborate a bit more on this?

[jahc]

I'm looking for that quote now, so if I find it, I'll be glad to share it. I do not EVER recall seeing BBRV saying that the G3 would be faster than the G4. I believe this has been paraphased into myth, beyond recognizability by those with agendas.

No, he definately said that on ANN a while ago. I've been trying to search for the exact quote as well, but have been unable to find it either. Btw, I dont have an agenda.

-Edit- This was months before the Pegasos2 was announced as well.

I FOUND IT I FOUND IT.. I *thought* they posted this before the Pegasos2 announcement, but I guess I was wrong. Ok here it is:

The first patch that Gerald and Thomas developed works as we know, but there were still bugs. The new Articia (and Teron) is still very likely to have trouble as more problems were detected after the Aachen Show and well after the joint work Gerald did with for the new Articia in October and November with Mai. The April2 brings the Articia fully to the performance levels it claims to achieve. We have purchased the remaining worldwide supply of the old Articias and will make 400 more Pegasos main boards with the G3 CPU. Our G3 Pegasos performs better than the G4 Teron with the Articia. This will be common knowledge soon (let the others understand this on their own our word will stand as testimony to our knowledge and skill). Once produced, we will stop (we may license production of this version of the Pegasos to Plexuscom or others). These machines will easily satisfy the Amiga market and give us the machines we need to seed our developer base while Gerald and Thomas switch out the old Articia to a much more attractive alternative (details later). This could be ready by the summer. The RAM speed of the Pegasos will be as high as any offered in the market and this WILL attract considerable interest.
