I don't get this trashing of x86 that usually happens on amiga forums?
It's cheap, it's fast, it gets less and less power hungry with every new version. Yet, it's still heavily criticized by some amigans, as far as I see, mostly by no other reason other for not being PPC or 68K(that is, not powering any official amigaOS hardware).
Because the PowerPC was for the last 13 years, the technology that made our hobby - Amiga - interesting.
Amiga Os is a system which, due to Forbid/Permit, messages system, can not work effectively on more than one core.
Thats why, transfer of the operating system to x86, ARM or other crap will not bring major changes in performance.
Performance of one core, the fastest x86 is only 2.9 times better than the G4. x86 is not even three times faster, only two of something.
We do not intend to sell 13 years of our history, for peanuts.
