Amithlon 2.0 pricing revealed : Comment 12 of 17 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 30-Jun-2002 03:46 GMT | In reply to Comment 11 (cheesegrate): Emulation of the 68k CPU is the key component of all the new Amigas -
AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, and Amithlon. AROS will also need an emulator if
it is ever to run Amiga software.
The alternatives are to stay at 60MHz forever, or to emulate a 68k on
a Coldfire (not a fast chip).
Obviously parts of the OS could be recompiled for x86 in time, but
Amithlon is so fast already that it hardly seems worth it. Perhaps an
x86 compile of the Imagine rendering engine would be worth while. |
