It seems that also I have fast enough HW for the game.

But how well it runs on Linux/Wine ?

I do not want to get windows just for this game (even if I might buy x5000 if Elite Dangerous was available for it ).

Well it is inspired by real Amiga machines and an attempt to continue the legacy so you are not totally off there. But the the gap between console designs and A1 tower desktops is a awide divide.

@NutsAboutAmiga

There are other major 3D engines besides UE3 and UE4 i.e. Unity 3D, Source Engine and CryEngine 3.

Current game console such as Xbox One and PS4 are basically "garden walled" PCs. You still download gigabytes of patches and store them on hard drive.


Open source OGRE 3D engine (MIT licence) has been used for commercial 3D games.

Part of being a modern game console platform is to include a sample modern 3d game engine with the SDK i.e. OS/graphics/sound/controller APIs are not enough.

By that time (in 2000) Intel chips already competed very well with PowerPCs, and that's why even Apple (one of the PowerPCs' founders) decided to move from PowerPCs to Intel. In fact, the upcoming MacOS X was working on x86 a the primary architecture. This decision was not taken only because a rampant IBM's manager (which late became the Freescale's CEO) convinced Jobs that his company should give her a better PowerPC processor, the G5. Otherwise MacOS X would have run on x86 from the very beginning. So, PowerPCs weren't already on a good shape on that period. The decision to stick with PowerPCs, and later to port the Amiga o.s. to such architectures, was plainly wrong. Another Amiga Inc's mistake... Quote: Apple decided to drop PowerPC, so we where left alone using PowerPC chips in desktop computers. See above. The decision was just delayed, and happened when Apple became aware that even a G5 wasn't able to compete with Intel's processors. Quote: PowerPC today is in use by the military, NASA, Game consoles, entrapment systems on airplanes (heat per watt is important if don't won't start fire), in robotics, for assembly lines, internet routers, printers, But its market share is dropping... Quote: the most powerful super computers are Power based. That's not true: they are Intel/x86-based.

Joint Strike Fighter (F-35) program has dumped PowerPC and replace it with ARM based solution, hence some delay with the program.

Xbox One and PS4 uses AMD X86-64 CPU. PowerPC was dumped from Xbox and PlayStation.

Incoming Nintendo NX game console may use either AMD X86-64 or AMD ARM CPUs.

GE commercial radar solutions are powered by NVIDIA K1 SoC (CUDA+ARM).

Intel has acquired FPGA specialist Altera.

@Hammer: nice information. Thanks!

How did you figure that? There is zero proof of this on the internet. What is your source?

Please, Hammer, can you report some link? Thanks.
