Visitors to the 2013 Vintage Computer Festival in the UK this weekend got a special preview of a new AmigaOne system coming from A-EON Technology as well the chance to play around on multiple AmigaOne X1000 systems running AmigaOS and GNU/Linux. The new system, code-named Cyrus after an ancient Persian king, is apparently based on the Freescale P5020 processor, one of the newer offerings in the QorIQ family. The dual-core SoC will run at 2GHz and drive modern 1333MHz DDR3 DIMMs according to reports from the show; the board itself recently went through a significant revision, the final version being a full ATX-sized board. Unconfirmed rumors suggest it will also have an on-board XMOS chip and Xorro slot. More information from attendees is available via the link below.
