Ideas: The new Amiga. Yes, it's inevitable!

[cicero790]

Yes Beast96GT, this sounds like Amiga to me. Not some mediocre half measure. If the visions aren’t there, there will be no investors, but if the visions are right and the aim bold enough the money will come.

A true Amiga shall always be able to run the best and most demanding games and software in the world, exactly as the vintage models did 20 years ago.

@Beast96GT

You talked about optimizing for real-time ray-tracing could something like this be used easily if a demanding 3d pc game was ported? or are they generally written for the floatingpoint?

@Beast96GT

I understand. It's just so important that not get painted into a corner.

WHO will recode AOS and make the new x86 versions of SW?

 I find these threads rather amusing as if people have not gotten a clue that a new hardware is never going to be released that can make any tech dent in the current marketplace.  I find it even more amusing that people could even think the Amiga market is economically viable for any corporation to invest money in to make that dent.

I don't agree with you Dammy. If a computer that have been owned by millions make a new model that level with PC and MAC, that could most certainly make, not a dent, but a nasty bite of the previously mentioned market. This bite doesn't interest me, What does interest me is new modern Amiga models and a future for the computer brand I loved the most.

Ps. Amiga inc and Hyperion is informed about what happens here. If good ideas emerges they will hear them, the cup holder excluded Ds :-)

EDIT. O.k with hot and chill cup holder optional if member of amiga.org :-D

O.K explain the reality Bloodline. We should all shut up and get Iphones :lol:

I agree with you A6000. The graphic cards needs to be replaceable other wise it will fall behind pc every second year. It will not do, market wise, and it would fail in the intention of being a computer capable of running the most taxing games available. The option to upgrade must probably be there. The sound chips isn't that sensitive to this rat race or the cpu if its a quality cpu.

Zekaric sketched a perfectly do able design. That could have competitive price and that could fill the same market segment the original Amiga upheld.

@Jpan1

Zabasoft releases Ultra Hal that is exactly what you talking about. A chat bot you can talk to and that learns talking to it and that can perform tasks. That in conjunction with a built in speech recognition and OS5 could be a SI-FI vet dream.

Hi Amiga how are you doing?
-Wait…Every test seems fine exept. S.M.A.R.T report slight degradation of DH3.
Good,  fire up the browser and head to Amiga.org
-All rightie then!

But this is nothing to joke about because, it’s small thing like that, that make you prefer something.  :-)

Yes we need serious power under the hood. Then the Alien breed developers could perhaps license the cryo2 engine for the remake. ;-)
