AmigaOne X1000: best potential mini-space shuttle controller?

The 1.8GHZ dual core PA6T should be equal to a C2Duo at 3Ghz. WHy? PPC executes more data per cycle than x86 due to its smaller pipelines. And unless you have a smart phone, most Amiga Browsers way outclass your typical mobile web browser. More on this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth

And as Karlos said clock rate and CPU power is irrelevant to Aviation and Space applications. For instance, the F-14 Tomcat used i386 and i486 CPUs in the F-14D variant, and that was in use until 2006. And the F-22 Raptor I believe uses a 604e derived CPU. Game consoles are also a good example. The Gamecube used a 400mhz CPU when CPU power in desktop PCs was 1-2.5 Ghz in range, yet it runs many games a PC never could? It has to do with application entirely.

What do they use for radiation shielding for circuitry? Lead?

But anyways heat may be another concern. In a vacuum there is no air to cool a CPU, and the higher a CPU's clock rate versus a lower clock rate, the more cooling is needed for the higher clock.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Modern x86 hardware is pretty damned good at the old instructions-per-cycle count. The Core2 is no slouch.

Well on a dual G5 1.8 versus a C2D Mini 2.4 I can definitely beat it playing UT2004 in terms of Framerate at a given setting. Also, Doom 3 and photoshop do better against it , but then again the Mini doesn't have an impressive GFX card.

PPC seemed to always be ahead of any Netburst CPUs and the 604e did very well versus a Pentium Pro

Naw, I have a few people I know on here but wont say their names that I would volunteer, Kesa is pretty much harmless but I have some traitors and trolls in mind.

Yeah it is if I ever can bait the trolls into getting banned (dont worry nobody here is on my list :p)

@Kesa

You've been harmless, because the worst you do is post when drunk.
