The hardware made it's first appearance back in 2015 but OS4 isn't quite ready yet so it's not on sale yet.

A1222 in action.

It's no worse than the Phase 5 PowerPC boards.

256MB was plenty for 68k Amiga OS in the late nineties but it would be too restrictive for PPC Amiga OS two decades later.

I started out with 256MB with my A1XE but felt much more comfortable when I upgraded to 512MB and eventually ended up with 1GB just to make sure I'd never run out of memory.

Yes possibly, depending on price and whether the discussion about whether the FPU issue was actually a big problem, meaning big compatibility problems or terrible performance.  There was a lot of talk about this when it was announced and I haven't heard much more about it since.


Here's the video I linked earlier in the thread with ScummVM, UAE and Emotion video player on OS4.

Another video of Tower 57.  The Amiga port uses pure software rendering.

This guy has done a bunch of videos demonstrating Linux on the A1222.
