what they are doing with this "gaming system" is not even comparable to the old Commodore company. CBM were low-level system designers and innovators. they invented their own chips,
Except for the CPU(e.g. Motorola) and Kickstart ROMs(e.g. Intel).
system models,
Not against AMD and Intel’s system reference platforms i.e. reference platforms that powers the cheap Asian motherboard manufactures.
Operating systems.
CBM also ships MS Windows and MS Basic(for 8bit lines and Amiga Basic).
no disrespect, but this new commodore are simply picking generic components off tthe shelf and assembling them into yet another IBM-clone with pretty cases.
I don’t think CBM could compete with specialised GPU/CPU vendors. During late 80s, Intel has i860 RISC chip the blows AAA+040 in terms of 3D.
