The A1200NG expansion and A4000NG was mentioned by Amigakit for 2026

@bennymee

When will someone fully explain what a A4000NG is?

Don't know when but this is all I heard:

It's an A4000 AGA motherboard compatible with A4000 Desktop cases which has a normal accelerator slot and a GPIO header in the CIA/IDE area for an RPi4.

112MB is available on the motherboard RAM slots and has faster IO to the busboard expansion header.

There's also a quick switch from the RPi video out so RTG modes are also supported through the 23-pin RGB output.

That brief video at AmiWest showed the A4000NG running at 1,946 MIPS. For comparison, the A1200NG and the A600GS only run at 257 MIPS, or 300 MIPS if you get the CPU Boost add-on.

Chip RAM speed at 18839 times over A600 indicates an emulated Amiga. ARM Cortex A76 with Amiburry would rival Emu68 with ARM Cortex A72.

2.8GHz overclocked RPi 5

Thanks for the links/videos,

I thought the Banquet speech was a good idea, just let anyone tell their story why they are there and why they love Amiga!

The A4000NG / CPU Boost add-on for A1200NG is interesting, I thought the Orange Pi Zero 3 would be a little under powered if there aim is to make a true next gen Amiga system. I had Pi400 with Amikit XE and it would run any old Amiga game / software, it was just the newer 68K+ apps like some hollywood demos, Heretic 2, Gorky17, Wipeout68, etc that ran a bit slow, plus I often would do a bit of coding with thanks to Rabbit hole, I would play a youtube vid in the corner, but it would drop a few frames and some web pages like photopea.com (basically Photoshop in you browser!) would be a bit too slow to run. I upgraded to a Pi5 and its fixed all them issues. I just wish they could fix a few JIT errors I do run into on Amiberry that I dont have on WinUAE.

Plus I playing around with QEMU + AmigaOS4 which again needs high end hardware, I not got around to trying it on my Pi yet, just on my PC, but this vid show it run not too bad on Pi5 hardware, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vDfZ4DRzSE

So when people ask why would you need the extra power, these examples I think demonstrate why.

I do wish Amibench came out for Pi systems, I get why not, they want to sell the hardware.

Someone has made that up. Video was just showing new SBC running NG software.
You have name and when its being released, thats all at the moment.

For WinUAE's QEMU PPC, you don't need a high-end PC; just a latest low-end x86-64 core e.g. Raptor Lake Core i3 or Ryzen 5 AM5. Throwing Ryzen 9 9950X3D (16 cores with 32 threads) at WinUAE QEMU PPC is excessive.

For QEMU on AMD x86-64 platforms, there was a big performance boost with the AM5 CPUs from the AM4 CPUs.
