Those tests are quite impressive. The PAsemi wins 2 tests, 1 is won by G5 and 1 is basically on par.
In one of the tests the PAsemi performed 4 times better (+400%)
But I am sure 3D rendering will bring other surprises as well...

Remember, these tests show only single precision FPU performance. That one test where PA6T "crushed" all others was not fair: "Advantage over 8641D and 970FX for HSI largely due to custom-built ATLAS 3.8.2 BLAS library for PA Semi vs. 3.5.1 precompiled binary library for others"
However, you are right, performance is impessive (for 25 W PowerPC CPU/SoC). |

In any case you cannot tell me that having an Amiga based on an obscure (almost "mistery") CPU only used in Aerospace and Military gear (up to this point) isn't something cool! 
Makes my geeky blood boil

Another reason to buy this nice computer!  |

The audio is built into the SB600 and this company are just supplying the 5.1 connector. I'd assume they are a parts supplier that can supply in the quantities needed by Varisys for the X1000. |

I would point out that you are the one accusing them of lying (so acting all "ooh I'm offended" is a bit... silly). And also that you pretty-much ignored all the other points I made.... (so it's hard to take you seriously when you are doing "hit & run" type posts)Last edited by ChrisH on 12-Mar-2011 at 09:48 AM.

| 1)it's a good thing having news on x1000
2)when i read that the most advanced ppc desktop is a 4 years old machine i become angry but then i think that is sad but true. then again i think money are not mine but aeon ones instead. so they use them as they please.
3)sad but true is that amiga is a niche hobby market. no more than 1000 buyers. so if aeon had wanted to use the latest technologies final price would have been much more than 2000 euros.
4) i'm only sorry i won't ever see one of these machines by near. my budget isn't enough for a 2k euros hobby machine.
5) i hope aeon sells 10000 x1000 so prices
will go down |

| Maybe Hyperion has used the extra time (a year) to work on dual- / multi-core support in OS4. I think it would be great publicity-wise to have maximum performance when the computer is released for sale.

I hope there will be cost reduced version one day.
Less PCI slots etc.
It would be interesting to know how many PA6T chips Varisys can get.
But if PA6T cost something like 700¤ per chip, then some other cheaper chip needs to be taken in use.

The current board layout could probably be re-used to a large extent for any future processors. The SoC route is here to stay. The SB600 could probably be brought forward to any future updates, as could the XMOS chip, a lot of the OS4 changes, etc...
In other words, the X1000 is the biggest/most expensive hurdle. |

I think there is no 10000 PASemi's for that.
After year or two they need to do rework board for new procesor
