ADOOM on A600 running 22-35 FPS

Yup, FPGAs are ideal for what we need at the moment. Quite possibly the savior of Amiga tech. No-one would have enough money to bake multiple ASIC revisions for testing purposes.

CPU

in FPGA  ~ 600 Mhz 68020 Speed
in Very Good FPGA ~ 1200 Mhz 68020 Speed
+ needed investment to develop an FPGA system is low - some hundred to maybe thousand $ to get prototype
+  Bugs can be fixed in the field

CPU
in low end ASIC  ~ 1000 MHz 68020 Speed
in high end ASIC  ~ 5000 MHz 68020 Speed
- needed investment is huge for high end Asic the price for prototype can be in range of $200,000
- if there is a bug then the ASIC can not be fixed.
- To fix a bug again $100,000 need to be invested.

This post hopefully clears everything up

We are going to have super-duper Amigas with minimum risk and investment folks.
Sure, we could have insanely fast Amigas, and 5 GHz does sound temping, but it is a HUGE step. And requires an amount of money that goes far beyond enthusiasm. Unless one of us wins some crazy lottery

So please, let us appreciate what the team is doing right now and hold the unrealistic suggestions unless someone knows an eager investor
