PowerPC is more relevant now than ever. All the next gen gaming consoles run PowerPC an and the chip is rock solid.

No they don't. The PS4, the Xbox One and the Steam Boxes all use x86-64 CPU's.

The only console that uses a PPC variant is the Wii U and that's a POS compared to the others.

Current "next gen" (PS3 and Xbox 360) uses PPC. But iirc next "next gen" (PS4 and Xbox one) uses an AMD chip which is not PPC

That would be "current gen" for PS3/360 and well, "next gen" for the next generation.

When the next generation go on sale they will become "current gen" and the PS3/360 will become the "previous gen".

I doubt a custom x86 board would be cheaper.

What is the price of the P5020 cpu ?

Why would an x86 board have to be custom?

The whole point of even considering porting the OS to x86 is because the boards are not custom, therefore the bang to buck ratio is much better than any custom board could ever be.

In defence of OS4 it has to be said that OctaMED works flawlessly on the AnigaOne boards and OS4 for Phase5 hardware allows more 68k stuff to run than the old MOS-PUP did.  It even has working Mediator drivers.

@Takemehomegrandma

AmigaOS4 dominates your and many other fanboys minds so there must be something really fantastic about it, I can't find any other explanation to why you and some others spend so much time talking about os4 on the forums, irc etc...

@All

Fantastic news from A-eon. Who could have believed this a few years ago.

Ooh look the libelous troll has graced us with his presence.  What an honour!

Do you have any other explanation or what?

Perhaps the people you refer to suspect OS4 is stolen? What other explanation could there be?

Let's put this into perspective: we are probably talking a year or so before Cyrus makes it to a mature consumer release.  The AmigaOne X1000 is a stable, proven system and it's available now.

For me it's too expensive unfortunately. :(

Even at half the price it would probably be out of most people's budgets I think.

It's a shame because I really would like one as it's a unique piece of kit.

Most smokers I know smoke at least one pack of cigarettes a day so if they save that during a year they can buy the nemo board! Kamelito


Cigarettes are more useful though.
