Hyperion/A-EON introduce us to the AmigaOne X1000. A new beginning?

@A1260
Never noticed that 1200 accelerators resemble a piano pretty closely!

Haha, that's both bizarre and actually true. I like it  

Im curious though, where or when did you notice this? It's not an everyday sort of observation

[fishy_fiz]

Heh, that's kinda cool.

Who'd have thought it though, the most enthusiastic Ive been in an A1X1000 thread is due to a piano  

[fishy_fiz]

And youre a fucking clown. What sort of loser starts an account soley to antagonise someone in that manner? I disagree with dammy on many things, but that sort of crap is crossing the line. Why dont you go lick the inside of a loaded shotgun barrel while simultaneously testing the trigger?

Chances are my use of words with more than 2 syllables will confuse you anyway if your demonstration of English is anything to go by, so I'l dumb it down for you:

Dummy2 = moron, bozo illiterate clown.

What a weak, gutless person. Doesnt even have the balls to take issue man to man, but instead antagonises behind an illusion of anonymity making horrible claims about the person he has issues with and takes paedophillia lightly in the process. Dont they usually put dogs down when there's no hope for them ?


edit: heh, I just noticed my 666th post involved suggesting someone lick the inside of a loaded shotgun barrel while simultaneously testing the trigger   I stand by that recommendation, but bit of a coincidence

I cant speak for anyone else, but personally the way that Dammy for years has done more or less nothing but regurgitate the same old typical negative side of the amiga coin and antagonises people and tries to stir reactions from people by deliberately going against the grain is why I cant really take him seriously on forums. He's basically troll personified. Harmless, but tedious.
Dummy however is a different person, who has taken it upon himself to have a vendetta against Dammy and has spent the last few months embarassing himself on various amiga websites and generally trying to cause trouble in whatewver way he can. Some of his actions are highly questionable (albiet pathetic) and he's the sort of person who even the most pacified of people would happily cheese grate his nerps and/or face.

To me that just suggests it's not a great choice (nor are the cpus in sam boards). With the limited development of amiga hardware it makes more sense to find hardware that can be upgraded by replacing the cpu when a person is inclined. I guess the problem with this though is that pretty much all new ppc chips are SoC's. I guess also that an upgradable path may not suit amiga hardware developers as it removes potential sales of future systems if people can get around replacing entire systems. Pretty rough position for all involved.

While I dont wish to discredit the effort and money that has been put into the X1000, by now I do have to wonder if it's even worthwhile anymore. I dont know exact dates, but it'd have to be 12 month ovedue by now surely ? In the computer world 12 months is a loooong time. 12 months overdue for a machine that was underwhelming to begin with and it just seems more and more expensive and underpowered (relative to modern computing). No longer does it have a chance with people who are interested in alternative computing and the only units I can see them selling are to a handful of very dedicated OS4.x enthusiasts.
Amiga is back, and as incompetant as ever  ;-)

I must admit to being completely underwhelmed byt the power consumption and temperature figures. This is a cpu that is often touted as being impressively conservative in these parameters and yet its outclassed by even x86 cpus that are magnitudes of times faster. Even a Llano (4x k10.5 Stars cores (ie. tweaked old technology that has a reputation for being inefficient in power/thermal properties) + intergrated radeon 6530/6550 with 320/400 stream processors + memory controller + pci express controller, etc.) downclocked to the same sort of frequencies would be quite competitive, despite not just being much faster, but being a chip much, much more complex (1.48 billion transistors).
