Is Amiga NG underpowered?

[OlafS3]

I have one suggestion. Lay down on your bed or couch, close your eyes until you sleep. Then in your dreams you can have all your wishes come to true. Downsize of it though, you will have to wake up. But ONLY there will you have your Amiga NG in an ARM platform.

You could do that as a solution OOOOoorrr skip OS 4.1 and use either AROS/MorphOS.

That would be my advice too

If you want ARM (and use something on Raspberry) you have the option to use AROS (2 devs are right now working on a native version with full hardware seupport). Or use MorphOS on one of the many cheap options.

I suppose that the IBM POWER8, (64-bit, hex or twelve core, 8 way SMT/core, 5.0 GHz, follows the Power ISA 2.07. Introduced in 2014)  just would never be able to catch up with speed of the ARM cpu.  I guess I'm just the old dog never able to learn new tricks.

are you serious about using POWER8 processors for a home desktop enduser computer? :confused:

There are some who have much too much money obviously...

Well, it would solve the "my processor is bigger/faster/better than yours" debate, at least for a hot minute.  

:lol:

at least for some time

5.0 Ghz sounds not bad indeed but for the price of one you can propably buy a whole server farm. IBM is known for a lot but not for low prices
