Bill McEwen has posted a new Executive Update, where he hints that there might be a strong possibility of an AmigaOS 4.0, if sales of 3.9 are good enough, and announces that there will be more details and announcements at the Amiga World show in Cologne next month.

| New Executive Update : Comment 42 of 64 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Rich on 25-Nov-2000 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 35 (Buzzy):
I cannot comment on the efficiency of microprocessor
architectures. 2 to 1 is alot and is hard to believe.
3 to 1 is certainly a stretch.
Power consuption:
PPCno 1000mhz to compare.
I have a p3-500mhz in a laptop, it runs fine without
a fan.
a 1000mhz P3 in a desktop can be cooled.
Although i don't like to say anything good about
AMD, a 1000mhz thunderbird in a desktop can be cooled.
In addition it is a powerful platform which can easily
be overclocked 200-300mhz.
There are also 500mhz AMD laptops which run fine
without fans.
One thing I would like to see is development budgets
at Intel
at AMD
at Motorola
Is moto's budget higher than that new start company
that makes the caruso chip? (x86 architecture)
It's been reported that by "indepenent" press that the P4
architecture may be good for 6000mhz.
Make your own decision, but my next CPU is going to be Intel. |
