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

On normal linux apps, the CELL's PPE at 3.2Ghz was benchmarked to be around PowerPC 970 at 1.6Ghz.

Really? My experience was that the PS3 with Linux was alot slower for "normal linux apps" than my 1.33GHz G4 iBook, also when not using swap at all.

Lack of direct access to NVIDIA RSX and 256MB ram for PPE didn't help PS3's linux situation.

Yes, but I was not using any graphics, all in CLI through ssh, and I specifically ran without swap, all well within the 256MB of RAM - and even then it was alot slower than my iBook.

It is called AROS... It runs on cheap and broadly available x86 hardware, it is free, it is opensourced. It should dominate the Amiga future, shouldn't it? Guess why it has not happened for 15 years.

Because of people like you? :hammer:

AROS was never taken seriously among the "true" Amiga developers, it's just quite recently it has gotten to the point where it is even mentioned in the types of discussions like this one. And why has it taken so long? Because the said "true" Amiga developers have not really been interested in participating.

Oh, and btw - in my view, AROS is already dominating.
