Many people don’t remember old Amiga computers that used to be quite a hit in the 80’s and in the early years of 90’s. I had that luck to see and work on Amiga 10 years before and it was a great experience back then. Amiga has died out since the release of the PC’s but recent news shows that Amiga will be coming back from the dead.

The company that will resurrect the Amiga is called A-EON and they are planning to bring back to life Amiga this summer. The first known Amiga A1000 had maximum of 8MB before it has been replaced with PC and the new resurrected one will have 2GB of memory.

A-EON calls this new thing AmigaOne X1000 and there isn’t much information about it yet. The new AmigaOne X1000 hasn’t been introduced so far but it should be presented at June’s Vintage Computing Festival. It should use dual core 1.8 GHz PPC RISC processor and it will be equipped with ATI Radeon R700 graphics card, with 2GB memory that is already had been mentioned. Additional specifications include 10 USB 2.0 ports, 2 PCIe x16 slots, 4 DD2 SDRAM slots, 4 SATA 2 connectors as well as one IDE connector. It will also use a co-processor called Xena 500 MHz XCore XS1-L1 128 SDS.

Amiga will rise from the dead, but will it have enough power to deal with new PC’s and Mac’s? Judging by the specifications it surely will, but we will see what future holds for new Amiga.
