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 68 of 76 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Seehund on 28-Feb-2002 23:43 GMT | In reply to Comment 67 ([JC]): I agree about the soldered-down CPU - it's the apex of idiocy! Well, unless it's aimed at the iMac audience who don't want "a computer" but just something that'll let them browse the web and use Word. Presumably Eyetech will sell this model just because that's all the "Amiga Ones" MAI have in stock right now...
I see people saying "but a G3 @ 600 MHz is faster than any current Amiga". So what? Why compare 2 year old hardware to 10 year old hardware? Only current hardware is relevant. Even on an iMac you can upgrade the CPU!
Regarding CPU modules, do the Macs (iMacs and Powermacs respectively) use proprietary interfaces? After all, there are lots of third-party CPU-module upgrades available for them (I have a couple of original G3 iMac modules and a G4 module from a dead Mac-shop that I was hoping to get some use for). |
