Do you approve of PPC (in some form) as the future of Amiga?

I would vote for this, intels newest, an 80 core cpu.
 
Say what you want about intel, they have a future, they are not stuck in place like the ppc is.
 
PPC fans, can you match an 80 core processor that will become available for
early adopters in 5 years from now? 12 years ago moving amiga to ppc was a good idea. Today, there is no future in ppc.

"Its a research project" - So was the pentium before it went into mass
production.
 
" An 80 core CPU is useless for the desktop. "
 
Spoken like a true visionary. Right now perhaps, but we're talking about  the future. In time, content creation on the desktop will use
all that horsepower AND MORE... 3d movies, ultra realistic 3d enviorments and animation. New types of virtual reality,completely realistic animation of people which will mean real actors no longer needed to create movies, and more.
 
Think about the incredible things created on a quad core. Who wouldn't want a computer with 80 cores instead of 4?
 
Useless for a desktop? Are you on drugs? Can I have some of them?

Porting 3.1 3.5 or 3.9 to x86 would be awesome. I'm amazed that no one ever leaked the source code to any of them.
 
The files and sources had to have gone through many people's hard drives over the years. I wish someone would leak it. A bounty could be started to port it to whatever people wanted.

x86 is the cheapest for the money. What would be cool is if someone did a radical type of motherboard redisign and included multiple gpus, incredible sound card components and and multiple upgrade slots for adding MANY x86 processors, maybe additional coprocessing components and so on.
 
16 core chips will soon be very common... Imagine 4 phyical 16 core chips on one motherboard, or more, with great gpu, sound, ect, all on one slick mb that you can upgrade for many years.
