Nobody exept Hyperion themself knows which direction they are going. But I noticed that multi-core was mentioned on the roadmap for OS4.2.
I just though that it would be cool to have a cpu for the Amiga that was ahead of the intels again.
In the published article I read, it was also mentioned that Microsoft is not going to use this CPU in Windows 7, because they are already working on a CPU with 80 cores - to be released in about 5 years.
So in a way it will be like beating M$/intel at their own game:)
If the statement of having 100 cores will not help the desktop market is true, why the 80 core cpu for windows in 5 years?
No matter if OS4 will be able benefit from all the 100 cores, it should still be much faster than any Amiga HW ever seen before.
