Hi.

 

Have you tested the AmigaONE X5000 (quite expensive) and tested it against a Mac with PPC cpu with MorphOS?

vs PowerMac7,3 (A1047)  with https://www.morphos-team.net/

why would you? what demographic of people use MORPHos let alone the computers it's compatible with?

Well my guess is that there are no Newer PPC Computers to do any testing of either OS. Not ever a PPC SBC.

 

Note: MorphOS was first release for the Pegusos PPC Computer.

People who grew up with Amiga, and use that computer for internet browsing, playing old games etc. So the demographic of people does not belong to the majority. But not all people use a DIY eCPU and other hardware Linus and co has tested before. As for entertainment aspect is more interesting watching unique hardware than run of the mill hardware. Also the high price tag for X5000 is it worth it compared to buying a cheap Powermac on eBay and installing an Amiga OS. A

I agree a video about this would be nice, on the other hand a 2000 dollar motherboard that seems specifically designed to satisfy that "nostalgia itch" is rather sus. 

 

"45nm"... outdated as heck too!
