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.

Posted by Adam Kowalczyk on 27-Feb-2002 14:55 GMT | In reply to Comment 5 (ko): MAI's listed price is for an evaluation board. I.E. you buy one board. It's to discourage QTY 1 buying. MAI would probably rather have somebody call up and say "Hi, I'd like to have <insert large quantity here> boards delivered to <favourite PC assembler here> every <insert time period>." The high price tag makes sense if you're a company like Eytech, or someone interested in testing it out with the plans to sell many more. Hence the term evaluation board. Undoubtedly, Eyetech has an NDA and cannot disclose the company that built the board or they have future plans to build a board around the MAI chipset when the economics make sense. Frankly, I feel it will be hard to compete with a board made in the Far East from a cost point of view. Finally, some real competition for DCE. |
