Oh dear, we'd be here until next year if I tried to do that..
Last I heard, amithlon was about to be released. The only thing (according to the site) that was delaying was legal concerns between Haage and partner and Amiga Inc.

That statement dates back to April, when Bernie informed H&P that he was terminating their contract.
In June Bernie announced that he would be releasing "Am*thlon 2" on the 1st of July, but a few days before this date the P96 team decided that they would postpone granting a license pending "further clarification". Negotiations with P96 then went on for months, often hindered by external influences I don't want to comment on (but which should be easy enough to guess). During this time Bernie has been subjected to personal attacks from certain parties both in private and in public.
This remains the situation as I write. However, I can say two things:
-Amiga Inc
want Bernie to release his software. They have even tried to move negotiations on a little.
-Hyperion, although not supportive of anything to do with x86, have stated that they are not responsible for the current delays. The evidence available to me gives me no reason to disbelieve them on this occasion. (Those who have been following my posts will know that I'm not normally inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, so you should rest assured that I
really believe they're not involved.)
