If implementing a new chipset - why use FPGA which limits performance from the get -go? I appreciate fabbing a new chipset would be expensive , so why not use off the shelf parts?

Lets face it - no software was ever written to support either the AAA chipset or the Hombre chipset - so why go there?

Why not use existing DSP's , GPU's along with a modern processor etc.

What might be really interesting is to have such a machine but include an amiga SOC design to provide legacy compatibility.
