UltimatePPC and everything else

Sometimes someone says something so stupid you just can't help yourself.

Usually I just leave totally incorrect and illogical "facts" alone, but this was just so mindbogglingly bullshaitty I couldn't do it.

Sorry.

Can you please get BACK to MorphOS development?
I have a nice Powerbook just waiting for it....

If you have nothing else to do for 3.0, please work on the G5 version (for which you posted screenshots 2 or 4 years ago here).

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

No need to get back to it really, I'm doing it all the time. Just couple of minutes ago I improved the file types detected by Ambient for instance (but that'll go to MorphOS 3.1).

So, 3.0 is already in "Code Freeze"? If so, what's preventing the release?

As far as I can tell there are no cheap solutions that provide the necessary features. Even if there were, I doubt they'd be willing to change their design at this point as it'd require quite extensive redesign.

I know almost nothing about HW. But when I saw the design I thought it was a replacement for the old PPC-Blizzard-PPC-like accelerators. 100% compatible (including Binary compatibility for sure)  with new features added.
Isn't really possible to achieve that using a modern PPC processor? About CHEAP, what's cheap in the Amiga market nowadays?

A 500Mhz+ 68040 would be nothing to scoff at.  I'd certainly use one.

Just for curiosity, Winuae running on a modern i7 is "how fast"? Like how many MHZs when emulating a 040?
