OK!
I must remember to read entire threads.
No Macs is cool with me.
And I have been using AMD processors in most of my X86 systems since the K6-III+ was introduced.

So we have the e5500 cored processors to look forward to support for in later revisions of our current OS (and with the e6500, a possible direction further).
And AMD's APUs can provide the base for the new branch.

Cool.

A new lightweight OS that isn't weighed down by legacy crap, that IS morphing to something better.
