If It Ain't x68, It Ain't Worth A ****

[Tension]

I see you proof-read your posts thoroughly!

It's what you get if you combine x86 and x64.  Plus a few spliffs.

Aw, come on Red, it's a bit of fun and generated some interest at least. How long has it been since we had some guess the story shenanigans?

We've been guessing for the last 16 years

And it only costs £99999.99.99999

As an aside, note that progress is being made with the Radeon HD drivers for 4.x: http://hdrlab.org.nz/radeonhd-development-log/

Which is just as well. If this new hardware sports PCI Express 16x slots, it would be nice to have something to stick in one that's supported

I`ve never even considered os4.1 due to the ridiculous hardware prices/availability/issues.

This is the first 'Amiga' since the A4000 that I really want to have.

Unless it turns out to be bollocks, of course.

[Tension]

And less importantly I'm ashamed to say:
-What does it cost?

Hmmmm....  I think the price is actually the most important thing.

I mean, if this costs ten grand then they`re only going to sell 1 of them to Steve Jobs.   If it costs about £300 then it`s the best thing that's happened since the announcement of the original A1200.

I bet it's nowhere near £300.

Karlos wants the thread to grow as long as over at aw.net ;-)

No objections btw.

OS4 on A-eon with Timberwolf... I'm excited :-P

Yeah, I haven`t been this excited since the Mediator was unveiled.

[Tension]

Sure, I made a bit of a tabloid statement. But really, £500 is a lot, but not painfull. Every £50 over £500 gets harder and harder...

Especially considering that'll likely be the price for motherboard alone.

Pfft!!

[Tension]

You've lost, it's "AmigaOne Power X".

Man, can't believe you made me lose.  

[Tension]

Pah, you'll be spelling colour without the 'u' next... Also, I think the above statement is incorrect. For instance, 'Q' cannot be more accurately represented as 'kw' since by definition it is one letter assigned to specifically represent that sound rather than using two other letters to do so. Maybe your objection should be that they may be represented using compounds of other letters and are therefore redundant

Not forgetting that Q requires an obligitory U.

We digress yet again lol

[Tension]

Maybe the whole X thing stands for the CPU... MAybe tehy're using the same CPU Xenon from the XBOX or somekind of derivatie. THE XBOX CPU It's a Modified PowerPC that has gone through some cost reduction revisions. The Big area for a heatsink fan would make sense... just my speculation.

Maybe it runs DirectX 11

@motorollin

have you got a link for the thread referenced in your signature??

[Tension]

Once the aw.net thread hits 1000, Xoops they did it again?

lol

[Tension]

It's PowerPC, 4 x SATA, two PCIe x16, three PCIe x1, two legacy PCI 33 Mhz, 8 x USB, Gigabit Ethernet, 'at least' 4GB RAM, Xorro, and Xena

You forgot to mention the S/PDIF connector.   It`s my favourite port!  Woohoo!!!!

[Tension]

Could Xena be a 680x0 in a FPGA?
