      @@lawrencedoliveiro9104 Amiga was 13 years ahead of everyone else... late 2000s level technology in the early 1990s. What killed off the home computers was POOR data storage. Imagine if the Amiga and Commodore 64 and Atari 128XE all came with a 1.44 MB floppy drive ?
      Now we know hardware needs to come with a suite of software out of the box...

      Bollocks. The GPU has been pivotal in pushing floating point performance. It also has uses in visualisation. Much of the funding may come from consumer purchasers but it definitely isn't "purely gaming tech".
      Real-time computer graphics doesn't have its beginnings in gaming. It was medical visualisation, CAD, architectural visualisation and engineering.

      @smakfu That's truer, but even with that I don't think it was gaming which drove it. The TI 34010, Intel's i860 and the SGI geometry engine were all general purpose chips which were pressed into graphical tassk.
      It would be a mistake to think of ASICS like the Amigas blitter as being the route of graphics today. More advanced graphics systems predate the Amiga.

    I was stationed in the Bay Area when this show was running. Loved it. Stewart was always the easy going, "What is the newest/coolest thing", Gary.. he hated Commodore and Atari. I don't know why Gary hated Amigas in particular, but he did. As for me... Mega Amiga/C64/Atari ST fan.... It was truely the Golden age of home computing. Deluxe Paint 3 was light years ahead of any Paint program in its price range.. (as in ... it would cost you thousands to do better). Things like Video Titling etc were in the 6 figure range. Shortly after this, the Video Toaster for the Amiga, (hardware/software created by Newtek, (With the sexy Kiki Stockhammer as the spokesman), came to the Amiga, (only). A $5000-8000 Amiga could out perform a $250,000 graphics work station for Video Production. I really Loved "The Computer Chronicles"!!!! It is totally cool to see them on RUclips.. they are a significant part of history!

      You have to remember when this was filmed he was less than 2 years away from selling Digital Research to Novell. Was a pretty bad time for him and was under a ton of stress. It’s a damn shame so many people don’t know who he was. If it wasn’t for him we probably wouldn’t be where we are in software today seeing as CP/M was the basis for DOS. Not to mention his companies investment in multitasking with MP/M, Concurrent CP/M-86, ConcurrentDOS 386, and DR-DOS with taskmax.
      Still to this day I use DR-DOS 6 for my DOS machines as I find it superior to the Microsoft offerings of the time.

      it was the custom chips and dma channels. the amiga used dozens of dedicated direct memory access channels to speed up all kinds of operations while macintosh did it by software polling. dma was the key to true multitasking. and the custom chips, of course made it even better. "paula" for instance was responsible for audio and was way ahead of its time like blitter, gary and agnus. good old times, man.

    Roosendaal wrote the first source files titled “Blender” on the 2nd of January, 1994, still considered Blender’s official birthday. Originally, Blender was planned as an in-house application for NeoGeo; it grew from a series of pre-existing tools, including a ray-tracer built for the Amiga. This early version of Blender was intended to address a perennial frustration among creatives: when a difficult client requires multiple changes to a project, how do you implement those changes painlessly? Thanks to its highly configurable approach, Blender aimed at providing an answer. (As an aside: the name refers to a song by a Swiss electronic band, Yello). LOL

      Actually, the programs were very responsive but the various tasks the programs had to do took time. The CPU in the Amiga at the time ran at only 7.16 MHz.
      Compared that to IBM PCs in 1989 which ran at about the same speed but which were often stuck in text mode and one program at a time.

      The 486 came out in 1989 and the 386 was already well entrenched and common for all but the most budget systems, with the 386 running circles around the 68k 7MHz processor. The A2500 was not a budget system, but it was the best you could get from C=. It stunk. Not fast at all, and had horrible graphic modes for productivity; PCs in this era could already be running 1024x768 modes flicker-free while the Amiga couldn't even do 640x480 flicker free.
      As evident here, 1989 was the beginning of the end for the Amiga, with the latest and greatest stagnating due to Irving Gould and his henchmen that had no idea what they were going to do with C=. The years before that were squandered as the system was already four years old since commercial release yet hardly had anything added to it. As the C= engineers stated, AAA was supposed to have been released around this time if they had wanted to stay competitive. AAA never saw the light of day.

      In 1989, EGA or VGA was still the norm. If you had 1024×768 then you had an expensive graphics card, better than average monitor and you likely did it in monochrome. I remember articles on Desktop Publishing from that time.
      Progress was much faster on the PC side though, that's for sure.

    17:24 .... what the heck?
    3 to 4 times faster clock rate....
    So 14 Mhz is somehow 3 to 4 times faster clock than the original 7.16 Mhz??? How did you compute that, on a Pentium 60 ?

    • @samwyse2006
      @samwyse2006 6 лет назад +5

      He fucked up explaining the speed difference, but 3 to 4 times faster is right, because the Amiga 2500 has a 68020 @ 14 MHz vs a 68000 @ 7.16 MHz.

    • @valenrn8657

      Motorola didn't have Pentium Rating like marketing when discussing the difference between 68000 ~7.1Mhz with 16-bit bus to 68020 at 14Mhz with 32-bit bus.
      Amiga 2500's 68020 at 14 Mhz with 32bit fast ram is similar to Amiga 1200's 68EC020 at 14Mhz with a 32-bit fast ram.

    If Amiga was called Thoth or TH computers I'm sure it would've been more respectable computer system.
    Thoth was the name of Egyptian God of intelligence or wisdom.
