- The CPU will be PPC 604, that means 32 bits, but today's graphics card are 64 bits
- and the next PPC is the 620: 64 bits. The Power Amiga will probably be 32-64 bits
- capable so when the 620 will be standard it will accept it and be at the same level
- of the graphic card (or chip).
-
- I hope they will avoid what happened with the 3000: 32 bit CPU and 16 bit chips.
