But I fully agree with Dave! Yes, x86 would be the best solution for our platform. However, no-one has enough time, skills and money to do such port. Now. Maybe time will change that.

what for? another agony? another decade of nothing?


Past decade was full of interesting products and disputes:
Amithlon
Pegasos and Pegasos II
AmigaOne SE/XE/Micro
Blue-Red war
AmigaOS 4pre (and Final)
MorphOS 1.x
Efika
Hyperion vs A.Inc dispute
MorphOS 2.x
AmigaOS 4.1
SAM440ep
SAM440ep-flex
ports of MorphOS to Mac Mini, eMac and PowerMac G4
SAM460ex

not even counting interesting progress of AROS or improving of many emulator packages/solutions (Amiga Forever, AmiKit) and of course Minimig.

Another decade with such achievements would be really nice.

We are standing on the place for a quite long time. This X1000 is just a
facelift and fresh makeup on a dead corpse. Custom hardware is not
the problem, OS it is. Instead of inventing new and overpriced hardware,
why not investing each cent into OS development. More reasonable path.
There is a whole bunch of cheap and powerfull hardware out there.

You continue to speak of markets, targets and business like the X1000 will somehow bring back Amiga's glory days by providing a viable alternative to systems already out there.


Okay, there seems to be some kind of language barrier here, for I never said anything like the X1000 was going to bring back the glory days of Amiga or any of the other things you suggest I said... In fact if you read some of my other comments in this thread I did say specifically, that the X1000 with OS4 in its current state cannot appeal to people outside the keen Amiga enthusiast community. I also did not say that you can't have AROS ported to NatAmi or that you can't write patches and drivers for OS3.9 as extensions. So what are you talking about? If you're just trying to pick a fight, I suggest you go somewhere else.

Looking at commits of the last few days at http://repo.or.cz/w/AROS.git
AROS has about 10 currently active developers. Then there are other
people outside the core devs creating and uploading stuff to
http://archives.aros-exec.org. Of course activity changes all the time for
various reasons.


I meant how many developers are working on developing or porting software for AROS, rather than how many are developing the OS itself, as it was suggested that if OS4 moved to x86 it would bring more developers. Since OS4 is commercial, the number of people working on it depends on how many developers Hyperion can afford, rather than what type of CPU architectures the OS supports. So the main question is whether AROS has more developers who are working on developing software and applications. If that is the case, then it would suggest that indeed moving to x86 might bring more people who would be keen on developing software for the OS, which is important since software availability is a key to the success of any system.

This was the final version?. Ok, didn't know, but i was mainly asking for the original deadline. English isn't my main language and maybe i wrote it the wrong way. What was the date when the os would be finished in the contract by a.inc?

Europe has to develop its own hardware (CPU, GPU, ...) and own OS because anything from USA is out of option (for security reasons). AmigaOS and hardware can be developed with money from the EU (think of some 1.000.000.000 ¤) and it will pay because of all the money saved from MS & Intel.

Important are infrastructure, military use, communication, industrial control ... and not the 3D-latest-game-highend-PC. So key-elements are safety, reliability and efficiency (low power consumption) and not 150 fps on a 500 watts PC. PPC and ARM can do fine here.

High-end ATI/NV GPUs are being used in HPC.

Interesting presentations, thanks. These show that the PA6T is very usable for military, industry, office and of cource home-PC.

PA6T may be a few years back in performance but that doesn't count because the performance is high enough. For most people the PA6T has more than enough performance.

How much faster are current CPU? AmigaOS can easily regain factor 2-3 and even more in comparison to MSwindows (just guessing, ask the AmigaOS-profis).

Usability, clear design, endurance (works still in 10 years), security/stability, ... such things are much more important than some percent extra performance. One single bug (in hardware or software) can null the best performance.

BTW: be careful of too small structures (65 nm is fine, below 45 nm it may become too risky) - only guessing ... what does hazydave think?

PA6T is even more technologicaly advanced chip: x86 CPUs with similar performance per watt were realeased in 2007/2008 (considering PA6T has TDP 14W for both cores excluding rest of the SoC with full desktop features). That is why I insist on 4 years, not 7 as some suggested.

Sorry, I can not give any numbers with reasonable backup. My impression is that uploads to and traffic on aros-exec might have increased the last 2 years, whatever that means for the number of application developers.

Next try?

Pentium 4 is dead. Try Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Mobile Sandybridge.
