Anyone else remember that aga was to be intergrated into the cpu die? I remember a few interviews with key figures (David Pleasance or Lou Egbert perhaps, it was a while ago) in amiga magazines back in the day talking about it and I was curious as to how they'd planned to do it being that they had no license for 680x0, nor did they have the facilities to do it even if they did.

Both forward thinking and stuck in the past at the time (ie. intergration of custom hardware in a cpu die at the time was pretty forward thinking, but sticking with aga was kinda crazy).
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Nah, it was definately aga. I remember arguing with my brother about the advantages it would provide. He was of the opinion it was interesting, albiet a little silly, and I was such a hardcore amiga guy, and too young and naive that I believed aga was the bees knees (even though this was post a1200/a4k/etc.).
