Is the Amiga architecture still relevant today?

[persia]

A new Amiga would make zero contribution to today's technology, it would be for retro enthusiasts like us, no one else.  

I have been wondering about this question for a long time now. What I mean about this question is this; in todays world, the differences between the Amiga architecure and the x86 architure still make sense? In other words if a new machine based on the Amiga architecture gets out, then is it really needed? Or?

But can it sample a joystick at 1 KHz?

It's horses for courses, really. I have Vista x64 simply to provide a DX10 gaming environment. It does that job very well indeed.

I think you're right, Amiga was put on the road to irrelevancy when Commodore toke over, it just took a decade or so for it to happen.

Well, by the time Commodore took control, it was all about saving money! Agnus has a DRAM controler, so they just used that.
