Hmmm...and years later now:

Well I believe the poster meant P5020 processors (not 55020) and QorIQ  processors (which the P5020 is one of) are plausible.
I'm not so sure about the comments on ARM processor based laptops or getting the name for PCIe (which is PCI Express not Extreme) wrong.
Also you don't go from diagrams or schematics to production. The processors she's mentioned would need a multi-layer board (about 8 to 10 layer), all carefully laid out.

I'm skeptical, but let's wait and see.
BTW - Freescale still has the P5020 and P5010 under an NDA and your not going to get the technical info needed to work with them without a corporate e-mail address and a signed NDA.

As to new AmigaOnes, we've got the X1000 which should be introduced soon.
And Acube has the SAM440 and 460.
A-eon may consider the QorIQ and e5500 cored processors for later products.

With an almost 5 year gap in posts, this above mentioned reference may be more vaporware.

Same troll post was sent to the AROS dev list this morning with each occurence of the word Amiga replaced with AROS.


OK, I found it a bit dubious as the poster claims to have finished a design with a processor that isn't available yet (and gets the processor name wrong and the meaning of PCIe wrong).
I guess I should count on one of these for Christmas?
