Hyperion/A-EON introduce us to the AmigaOne X1000. A new beginning?

[commodorejohn]

LOL there aren't gonna be any boards.  The project has been cancelled for months now.

Oh, I don't know. Going by the site, they're still pretty confident that "2010 is the year we come back."

[Iggy]

Didn't read all the way through the thread, but a surprising number of you don't seem to be aware of the x1000's cxPU. It was even mentioned breify in one of their own press statements.
 
It's a PA Semi PA6t formerly running at 1.8Ghz, now clocked at 2.0 Ghz.

[wawrzon]

why, for what i see this thread started may last year and everybody have guessed it for ages, even if it was "officially" disclosed some month ago.

There hasn't been any news about the X1000 in some time, however this item appeared over on moobunny today:

Breaking news or fanciful fiction, you decide.

yes, this coming from a very reputable source:roflmao::rolleyes:

The problem is that unless the crap really hits the fan, all you are likely going to see thanks to the NDA is anonymous leaks of info.

Funnily enough many similar leaks started out on moo just prior to the exposure of the fraud surrounding the AmigaOne's hardware issues that were being covered up by the kindly mod team over at AW.net at the time.

Moo might by many standards be written off as a hotbed of nonsense and trolling. But the fact is, when real crap went down, it was spilled on moobunny first.

Play the odds.
By all accounts Ben is non-communicative.
By all accounts Trevor does not say much, and when he does, it's about his hobbyist interests.
What are the odds that someone is friends with both at the level required to obtain such knowledge?
Not to mention the reference to the Friedens...
Not likely.
But I can see the need to fuel the fire, since we only have 3 Cloanto bits and C=USA and iContain to talk about today.
Heh.

By all accounts, X1000 is very late. Whatever the reason might be, they're having problems. Whether they're hardware/software related, remains to be seen.

Fiction, most likely. Varisys were contracted to design and produce the hardware, if it doesn't work, it's their responsibility to fix it.

[the_leander]

Fair enough.

Why would you need to be friends with both?

Not to mention the reference to the Friedens...

Given that Acube have effectively had to release their own hacked copy of AOS4 to work with their new 460 as well as the public statements by Hyperion that simply don't mention the new system at all, it's quite possible to extrapolate this even from the outside.

Again playing the odds, this wouldn't exactly be the first time we were told as a community that everything was on schedule and rocking, only to be told months after the event that nothing had been touched in months... And it's not as though Hyperion have a proven track record of screwing over their partners or anything either, is it?

Not likely.

Plenty likely, if you know your recent Amiga history.

HJF posted on AW about having taken on too much, amongst other things.
I don't see how any one would disagree with that, whether looking from the outside or the inside.

Would not delete X1000 that easily. Sure, it might be production, OS development, CUSA, black hole and/or/if then else all together. Alliance of Hyperion, Varisys and A-EON is stil on, there are hardware vendor, software house and just for board small company. Did application for betatesting went OK?

[number6]

Fair enough.

Why would you need to be friends with both?

Dunno. In order to say:
"Trevor and Ben Hermans almost came to blows in the last meeting."
would you not have to BE at such a meeting?

If not, then we're talking what...2nd hand story, 3rd hand?

Would that not connote at least a degree of trust between the other 2 parties for this person to have been there?
Oh wait...too logical. heh.

Whether it was stated by one or both parties, or an independent witness or there in person, it still negates your requirement to be friends with both.

And again, it's not like Hyperion don't have a track record of screwing over their partners.

Or as you said:

Oh wait...too logical. heh.

Quite.

Complete fiction. Or is it called faction if its based on some existing problems, but taken to fantasy and worse case scenario?

Sounds like Albanian mafia is behind it (this is local joke in Balkans, but no mafia is easy in real life).

[the_leander]

Did application for betatesting went OK?

Applications have been processed and money taken, that said, all those on the beta testing lists have been curiously quiet about receiving their beta boards.

That last part alone would have me very worried.
