As far as desktop CPUs?  Unless IBM is going to release new PPC cores, not happening.  Only thing Freescale is doing is repackaging the old cores.  IBM's cells are for consoles and not suited for desktops.  That leaves you basically with x86_64 or ARM as CPU choices that are in constant development.


And Power series? (power6, Power7 andfuture Power8)

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.

I see your 80 core and raise you another 945

You cannot possibly be this dumb.


It was half-jokingly.  The problem with Amiga.org is that you can not embed images

Anyway they must concentrate on software, no matter on which CPU it run (even if itś alien technology and is cheaper than X86) if there is not applications or certain features in the OS they will get the same result
