Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 40 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Brecht [darklite] on 08-Nov-2001 08:39 GMT | In reply to Comment 37 (Anonymous): >In your UAE count, ignore the vast number of pirates who use it (disbelieve? Hang around Usenet or go hunting round the web), and I do not believe you'll find that >50% of Amiga users are running UAE and/or Amithlon/AmigaOSXL.
The problem is that users who use UAE for Workbench use don't ask around on usenet NOT wanting games. We really need a poll.
>Sure, these new 64-bit processors will have x86 compatability, but they will be far more efficient runinng NATIVE code.
Go read about the AMD Hammer.
>Given the timeframes of these and the AmigaOS development timeline, it makes FAR more sense to concentrate on PPC for now (2.4GHz G5, anyway? You know, the beast which is thrashing the PIV in all benchmarks and is due to be on sale next year...), and be ready to migrate nativly to the new CPUs when they come out - it'd be a far more efficient and faster OS as a result.
Rather compare the G5 to an AMD chip at the same price (that is, if you can find an AMD chip that expensive). |
