I don't think it will be that far (64 core CPUs won't come out that early  ) and you should also consider if the Amiga system you have gives you enough power. If you can do everyting you generally do with a computer, at VERY fast speeds, then you're all set, even an X1000 could be enough considering further boosts could come from OpenCL and other forms of acceleration.
@Pavlor
You said it yourself, those CPUs aren't out yet so you cannot say with utmost certainty they won't be as performing as the Q6600.
Rember that Freescale will face competion in the form of embedded i5, they cannot slack like before, so who knows.
I know you think the 60X0 series will be just like the past +Altivec (which isn't bad at all in my book), but what if they improve the main core? A 3Ghz improved core + new Altivec?
Don't think for it to be too impossible as, in the end, also the Altivec unit was supposed to be the old 162 instructions one (we now already know it's an improved unit instead). Last edited by DAX on 19-Apr-2011 at 11:55 AM.
