ARM for the future?

I don't get this trashing of x86 that usually happens on amiga forums?

It's cheap, it's fast, it gets less and less power hungry with every new version. Yet, it's still heavily criticized by some amigans, as far as I see, mostly by no other reason other for not being PPC or 68K(that is, not powering any official amigaOS hardware).

Because the PowerPC was for the last 13 years, the technology that made our hobby - Amiga - interesting.


Amiga Os is a system which, due to Forbid/Permit, messages system, can not work effectively on more than one core.

Thats why, transfer of the operating system to x86, ARM or other crap will not bring major changes in performance.

Performance of one core, the fastest x86 is only 2.9 times better than the G4. x86 is not even three times faster,  only two of something.

We do not intend to sell 13 years of our history, for peanuts.

X86 has made - AROS - interesting.

AROS is not Amiga, AROS is untested, not working crap.

Name calling really justified?  No it's not.

Quality and compatybility justified.

AROS is incompatible because it was developed without any testing of existing 68k software.

Truism, I think the Hyperion team will find this out with attempting to drag OS4 into AMP.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Then why is AROS flying on x86 then?

Windows fly on my pc, linux fly on my pc, AROS move slow like a turtle on my pc. This shit is running on one core only, and on my Atlhon X2 64 is as fast as my G4.

Last CPU comparison chart I saw shows G5 is about equal to a 1.8GHz Athlon.  

Like I said.

Who's history?  

Amiga History of course.

AROS has been on x86 for what, 15 years now?  

And how much of that time, this system worked on the Amiga?

Three months?

Blizzard PPC card Cyberstorm PPC we can enjoy for 13 years.
