Well the only interesting thing here is;
AmigaOS4 on Sam440EP 667Mhz = LESS than half of the Mhz of G4 1.4Ghz MacMini
can boot in 35-55 seconds depending on tuneup and optimization.

So that's clearly very fast on Mhz to Mhz comparison. Question is is CPU the really important thing that needs upgrading on FUTURE Amiga Hardware or are OTHER factors more important.

Never the less we should see more GRUN in Mhz sooner or later.
I would like to see Multi-Core processors on the new system, but overall better and faster SSD or SATA 3 or SCSI xxx will really kill-it hardcore on BOOT times.

FUTURE WARNING: Be careful, it might burn a whole in your roof and in your wallet. NA just kidding.

Yes but did you know that old 400mhz IMac G3 boots faster then 1.2Ghz G4 Mac Minis?
The MacMini has a horrible slow hard disk,

well the video encoding benchmark:
Read from disk, calculate, write back to disk.
So what your in fact testing is disk speed.

Cold boot = Disk speed test

You know that AmigaOS4 on AmigaOne boots faster then on MacMini don't you?
And the AmigaONE's have only 800 to 933Mhz, I guess the Sam440ep will boot faster then MacMini 1.2 ghz.

It comes down to disk speed, and Sam440ep has SATA controller.

This is a benchmark where he is testing X,Y,Z vs A,B,C

Where CPU X is different from CPU A, and where disk Y is different from disk B, and where memory Z is different from memory C.

This in no way a CPU benchmark, and does not exclude the possibility that PowerPC based computer can and will boot faster then Intel computer.
