Amithlon isn't aimed at them, it won't run the majority of games.

The press release also covered the AmigaONE and OS 4.0, which also
received no comment :(

Nor should it, but this is very different. Not only is it technically
different, less capable in terms of the software it will run but *much*
faster, but it is endorsed by Amiga. That in itself should be worthy of
comment.

Amithlon from Amiga and Amithlon from VMC are totally different
scenarios.

Cheers

Neil
