Some facts:
* UAE emulation will be fully integrated inside AROS soon (http://thenostromo.com/teamaros2/index.php?number=7).
* When running on a non-original Amiga hardware (AmigaOne, EFIKA, etc...) OS4 runs classic software through emulation (Petunia), right?
So, besides Amiga software designed to run on PPCs, what will be the difference of running AROS in a x86 box than running OS4 on AmigaOne, Pegasos or EFIKA?
I see one, there's a good chance of the x86 box being MUCH MUCH faster than the ppc based board...
Am I right?
:roll:
It's hard to measure if AROS x86 will be much faster than AmigaOS 4.x because the Petunia JIT is only a processor-based emulation. JUAE on AROS will emulate the chipset as well as having processor JIT. The AROS emulator will be more compatible to the old hardware-banging Amiga code.
In order to run a fair comparison you'd need a whole host of Amiga chipset emulation software for OS 4 including Blitzen, Nalle Puh, and CIAgent plus a Copper coprocessor emulation that doesn't exist yet.
