The reassurance that the X1000 is on schedule and that A-eon has secured adequate PA6T and SB600 components is a relief.
I also received word today from Freescale that the P5020 and P5010 (the first e5500 cored products) are also on schedule for Q2 release along with an evaluation board (set at the usual high price of $4000).
So PPCs aren't dead and we've received some good news recently. I'm happy.
What schedule would that be that you're talking about? The X1000 was supposed to released late last summer, then it slipped to the fall, now it's Spring of 2011 and it will continue to slip. It's vaporware just like the last NG Amiga system that was offered by Adam Kowalczyk of ACK Controls back in 2007. The X1000 is just a repeat of that fiasco and the specs for both systems are about equal. The X1000 will be a failure even if it does see the light of day. Not many people are willing to pay $3000-4000 USD for a systems that's already lagging by about 6 years. The only thing special about the X1000 is the lack of performance for the price.
