There is a misunderstanding. I have nothing to do with the developement or marketing of the X1000, I just enjoy to see the new hardware.

@DAX

>>RealTime raytracing can be done with GP-GPU (or those 102.000 mips ) all you need is the software that handles it and a powerfull Video Card on PCI-E 16X.



Excellent! So someone start working on the Xena chip then...c'mon no time to waste!

*Di dove sei?*

OK, machine specs looks at least on par with recent PCs (well, still probably slower than iCores, but the speed of CPU itself is not qualified measure).

But - I strictly require that my PC handles FullHD video, so that it has proper codec support in HW. As for the specs, gfx part is not covered at all. I just hope it will not be a let-down, or some lame chipset embedded gfx. Such high-end machine deserves high-end gfx, and I don't care if it is nVidia, ATI, or even S3, as far as I can get fullHD support in HW.

There we go.

Thanks for the fun few days guessing, guys. We should do this more often ;).

@-pekr-

The thing is - now the hardware is not the limit. It's back to software again.

It is all down to how fast the software drivers can be written to handle the PCI-Express video cards, and then on top of that the framework for offloading the decoding. More standard libraries and APIs would be required.

Sounds like Hans is going to be busy. :)

@Treke

No insider info, but CES is ongoing.
And I think the CPU will be revealed during these days.


We have been yelling after L2 cache for SAM boxes.
Interesting if we get L0 caches to play with as well, with the CPU....

Hyperion, what's the plan to get X also for the entry level machine?
Via FPGA connector or via PCI or?

@Geennaam

I bet 1.5Ghz. As the starting point.
Perhaps higher if only one core is loaded.

Sounds like a nice powerful mobo/CPU, but is this actually the MAP itself? Other than XMOS chip I don't see anything different to the other hardware supported by OS4.

I think they mean that the A1000 was released in Summer 1985 (July 24th) and cost 1295 USD. The X1000 will be less expensive and out before the Summer..... !!! BUT Is that less than the 1985 1295USD or the equivalent today of 1950USD ???

I'm mostly interested in what professional markets they are aiming at and if they have a strategy here and if so, what it is.

Don't get me wrong here. I love this stuffs and I hope for all the best. But so far it doesn't fell that professional, but we don't have all the bits an pieces yet... But still. What professional market could it be?

@Zylesea
I know that, but it reminds me of my A2000, when I bought it in the 80s it came with OCS and a 7Mhz MC68000, still there was a lot of potential.

Some even upgraded it with a DKB Wildfire and Inferno VideoCard (the card connected directly to the board through some sort of PCI slot, it even had on board Ram, HD controller and Ethernet).

As the base we get a dual core PPC (as Trevor said above clocked way higher than 1.5Ghz), an XCORE (don take the smallest example, as the top option has the same number of Mips as an AmigaOne G4) and a PCI-E 16X bus waiting to be populated with a latest generation Radeon Card.

Expandability is at A2000/A4000 levels though which is mighty impressive.

Consider all the goodies we'll get in the Next AmigaOS too (to support SMP, 64-Bit, PCI-E VideoCards, XCORE etc.)

reading between the lines,it seems like there is a "x500" in the pipeline to? Or is it me boiling over of joy?

I don't agree. It is great hardware. It is expensive. I want something everybody sees when he enters our living-room. A stylish big tower it will be for me.

NOOOOOOO!!!! Shape it like A1000, with a wireless keyboard garage, for the living room.
Make it address the home appliance area as well... Pleeeeeeaasse.

It is called an X1000 after-all. That's an excellent name btw.

Other non Amiga sites were not available too at the same time so Internet problem. maybe DNS related ?

@KimmoK

I see .
So you say the reason for all the secrecy is that AMCC wants to reveal the chip at CES real soon ... ?
But searching on http://www.cesweb.org/ gives no results for AMCC.
Anyways, CES ends on 10th.
But I guess it is simply not mass production ready...

@ONLY_AMIGA

In Finland A1000 cost 2500¤ when it came.
I expect X1000 to cost 2495¤ with AOS4.1.1beta.

I do not think so, DNS and ping worked fine, it seems the webserver was having problems.

@Thom_Holwerda

There will be other to reveal, not only related to X....

be ready Tom ;)
