If you look at the pitures of the AmigaOne you can see the brand/model of the NorthBridge.
Here is a link that give you more information about it.
I like particularly this article that says Pentium 3, Pentium 4 performance at half the price.
The Amigaone look to be exactely a Teron CX.
Lets just hope that YOU guys order enough AmigaOne to get lower and lower prices.
I guess Bplan used the Articia S to build the Pegasos.

Amigaone has the Mentor ARC ARTICIA S chipset: is it a TERON CX board ? : Comment 50 of 76 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Neil Thomas on 27-Feb-2002 22:41 GMT | In reply to Comment 44 (Amifan): Or as was the original idea: Solder the BGA chip to a small PCB and have that PCB plugging into the board. Rather like a Slot A or PCI card.
BGA - Unreliable if made to be removable. Rework is difficult
PGA - (ALA Socket A) Soon becoming obsolete, chips cost more. Replacement easier.
Custom card - Best of both worlds. BGA packaging technology, Slot A conveinence.
IIRC this was the original idea, which BPlan also picked up on. If it turns out that an Eyetech AmigaOne will never have a socket/slot form, I believe it won't sell as many as the Pegasos. All other things equal, that is (i.e they both run OS4)
