SAM 460 poor performance, high price

[jorkany]

I've heard that the 460 CPU is "cool". I'm not sure if that refers to it's heat dissipation or something else though.

If it was such a fail, why did they continue to develop a new model

If you're talking about Eyetech, all they were doing was taking whatever model of Teron MAI happened to ship over and labeling it an "AmigaOne". Who knows why MAI went through so many versions of their evaluation boards - if they hadn't gone out of business you could ask them.

Why did you even bring up Eyetech in this thread anyway?

Here is my view.
I don't care what OS SAM460 is running.
SAM460 will run 3D intensive games better than any Mac regardless of what OS is on the Mac.

My 2009 MacPro would like a word with you...

Indeed, something most don't seem to get here is how even the most mature Amiga like OS is way behind the likes of Windows7 or SnowLeopard.

Good post, DAX.

Only thing I'd like to point out is that the "Amiga tradition" now seems to be "We are better because we are weirdly different". But when the real Amiga was on it's game the tradition was: "We are better because we smoke their asses".

hmm funny that when the X1000 was announced the major/ respected computer sources released positive reviews...heck one guy even ate his socks:) so who exactly will be laughing other than the same usual suspects here ?

Some news outlets bought into the release story. Remember the "cold fusion" guys from back in the 90s? Now it's a year later the media "explosion" doesn't even have an echo.

I don't and won't worry because you won't see me running off to a MOS site bad mouthing anything new that's released for MOS but 'the usual suspects' make it an urgent matter to post trash on EVERY single new AmigaOS hardware or software release on Amiga sites....it's so obvious that it's laughable & sad really

Difference is, MOS isn't trying to be something it isn't (Amiga). I suspect when Hyperion & Co. stop misappropriating the Amiga name they will stop being the target of so much criticism as well.
