Could this be your next "Amiga"?

While ARM offers an attractive, low cost alternative, this is probaby my next Amiga.

If everything goes right I should have one before end of the summer. Curious to know how long summers last in America

In our humidity laden area, they last too long.
From June until the end of September is typical.

Wow so many projects, so little money. Looks interesting.

Its pretty clear Trevor is not going to be able to offer this at a significantly lower price.
It would be nice if someone looked into the T1040 and T1042 (or the T2080).

depends. here in miami, winter only lasts 3 months.

Yeah, but in the Summer you frequently have cooler, lower humidity days than we do in the Mid-Atlantic.
Not fair.

HUh, How is AROS with parallel multicore CPUs?

No doubt hosted under Linux (and then AROS is still probably limited to one core).

Why does the IBM Power 7 have such miserly performance?

It's okay but don't you need software than is designed to take advantage of parallel processing?

Because benchmarks aren't that reliable a gauge of performance?

You know, the Zynq7020 version looks promising.
Although the Parallella64 would make it more so.
