Man some of you are sooooo cynical. Lighten up, this is good news. We have SAM and MAP looks good so far. If nothing happens for a month , then start moaning and shout about vapourware. Till then please STFU! Your spoiling the happy vibe.

It just amazes me on how ANYBODY can get excited about a product/company that is know to bend over their consumers and charge 40000% mark up.

The "WOW" I am going to be first in line to get *ss ****ed by them just because it is Amiga"
is beyond me.

Sorry all, but the blind sheep mentality around here is nice for only so long. Some time soon you will have to wake up and say "Ouch" that hurts.

Oh, don't get me even close to started on Apple. I refuse to buy into that at any price. My business parter wanted to GIVE me an I-phone for Christmas so we can start developing Apps and such. He was even willing to give me that and go half on an I-book, for development. I refused and would rather stick with my 4 year old Palm Treo then look at a modern Apple product. I leave the Apple stuff to him ONLY. Even if Mr.Jobs himself, called me up and personally sent a private jet, and flew me down to Apple HQ, to present an I Device in person, I would just laugh and hang up on him(probably call him an idiot to his face).

How to continue the "momentum"?

Releasing product would be nice. Or maybe giving a functional system to some of the online hardware sites to play with?

But really, "momentum" .. a bunch of Amiga-users begging for hardware that is nothing more than a 2007 version of the BeBox.

Give us AmigaOS4.x/x86 for $49.95; that'll create momentum.

They will release an X500 shortly after the X1000 with lower specs for the rest of us.

But first, what is the X1000?

Answer: The X1000 is made by Varisys and has the following processor:
Quote
PA Semi’s new PWRficient™ family of CPUs delivers ground breaking performance and efficiency: performance per Watt is up to 300% better than existing embedded computing solutions. The first PWRficient™ device – the PA6T-1682M – combines a pair of 2GHz 64-bit Power Architecture™ cores with AltiVec™ compatible VMX instructions, 2MB of on-chip L2 cache, dual DDR2-1067 memory controllers, and 24 high speed SerDes serial I/Os capable of supporting PCI Express, SGMII and XAUI.

A PPC board with above spec was delivered in 2007 can be found here:
http://varisys.co.uk/vm31.html

Varisys are partners with XMOS, and even spoke at a recent XMOS conference.
http://www.xmoslinkers.org/conference-online-wf

News from their website March 18th, 2009
Quote
After two and half years of working together Varisys and XMOS have complete their 16th development/evaluation board.

Ok. So building on that we can see that the X1000 processor is a PWRficient PA6T-1682M from P.A. Semi.

I believe a lower cost single core chip will be available in an X500.
Assuming it is pin compatible, a single core PA6T-13xxM could lower the costs, and allow them to reach some sort of economy of scale with the motherboard.
Also assuming it is pin compatable, chips with up to 8 cores(right now) and 16 in future could fill an even higher specced line-up perhaps designated X2000 and beyond.
I would kinda think specifying the amount of cores by having the model number divisible by 500 would make more sense than it did in classic days.

I also assume Varisys are supplying this board for what they see as their key markets:
 Video and image processing
 Telecommunications
 Military and aerospace
 Radar and Sonar
 Speech recognition
 Industrial Control
 Vetronics

So, perhaps leveraging these markets could help lower costs.

I don't think the Moobunny regulars would allow the delusional postings to continue on without challenge at a very early stage.
