    Yes, I guess Blackbird board with 4-core CPU will amount to at least 2500 EUR incl. VAT. That's no bargain for sure.

    MorphOS is being used on quad-G5, and OS4 (and MorphOS?) is being used on X5000/40 (by beta testers). With regard to power consumption, it would be good if unused cores could be switched off or put to sleep. As it stands, MorphOS is not able to do that (and OS4 neither, I guess).


    Edit: According to bigfoot, "MorphOS already does power down the unused cores […] since MorphOS 3.10" on the X5000/Cyrus, which includes the X5000/40 with P5040.
