OK? Leave the exotic HW guys alone or suggest them a better processor option, so they can achieve binary compatibility.


MPC8610. An e600 (aka G4) based SoC, a bit old but pretty suited for Amiga/MorphOS things. e600 comes with Altivec. The 8610 has a fast bus, resonable heat dissipation, most things on chip, is not too expensive (the lower clocked versions at least).

At least we are moving forward now, instead of being stuck with 199x hardware. Who knows, maybe in future this will be the compatible CPU and all currently in use PPC's will be the incompatible ones... :)

Rather unlikely. While the e500V2 core is used for quite some QorIQ and PowerQUICC chips, Freescale seem to shift away from it. Sorry for saying it that straight: but IMO it's just stupid to chose an e500V2 cpu for such a project. But I am only repeating myself here, a few pages before I wrote alredy about that.
