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 64 of 64 | ANN.lu |
Posted by ... on 03-Dec-2000 23:00 GMT | Too long thread, no time to read it through, but anyway, my 2 cents:
On the Classic Amiga we are stuck with PPC and G3/G4 500Mhz delivers the CPU power for all modern computation needs. That is until Classic apps can be run on top of AmigaDE in Y2k+2, perhaps...
But.
It is great that AmigaDE will be CPU independent. We will then be able to use low-cost but equally powerful AMD x86 chips, if we want to.
We can even upgrade AmigaONE1200 & PPC with another CPU card with x86 chip and get immediate performance boost (for AmigaDE apps), without recompilation.
About the P4: with AmigaDE's VP translator it might be possible to optimize the FPU code to take advantage of SSE2 instructions without recompilation.
But we'll have to wait and see. |
