Look at this

http://www.fanlesstech.com/2014/01/60-bay-trail-d-motherboard-shipping.html


And a quad-core version will be available for 70$! Awesome!

A. No one has this.
B. Its a dual core.
C. Even this version costs as much as you are quoting (I don't see a quad core version).
D. Compared to other X64 hardware, it is slow.
E. It doesn't run OS4.

it's just an indication of how ridiculously underpowered and overpriced this custom PPC hardware is in 2013.

BTW, a quad core atom Z3770 is faster than a quad PPC970MP system at 2.5 GHz. So it is not slow, especially for 70 $


Nope, not even close.
And my G5 cost me $100.
So, for that I might get ARM.
Not X64.

Pretty close... and that's Bay-Trail T , this board features a slightly faster Bay-Trail D SoC.

Looks  surprisingly close.

The real surprise is the C2750.

well, I'm not sure some of those features will ever be supported. And later G5s are just as fast as P50X0, plus they have Altivec, which the P series chips lack completely.

Completely for now.
Later revision of the core they are based on will have these instructions, so successors to this chip will feature AltiVec instructions.
And the P50XX is a much cooler running, lower power draw chip.

That being said, I have two G5s.

True, though it would be quite comical if the X5000 was released with MorphOS first. ;)

I am pretty sure support for the X5000 (under OS4) will be ready at its release.
And it would not do to get your hopes up about MorphOS, as the developers already have their hands full.
