Dude, they had ten candidates, I'd expect a bunch of those would be shit from sheer quantity (possibly even worse than the 68020).
You seem to miss the pint that after SEGA Japan looked at rejected many and was about to go for the SH-2, SOA were pushing for the 68020.Quote:

Maybe it’s because the pint isn’t available in his area?Quote:

Sato mentioned that it was a 68020, but EGM magazine said it was a 68030. The 68030 is no slouch, especially at 50Mhz.
One is hadly pulling facts out ones bottom. When the head of SEGA entire R&D confirmed that when he was looking at the SH-2, SOA were pushing for the 68020.Quote:

Looking over that I highly doubt the SGI guys would look to use such a rubbish CPU to power their hardware and Scott Bayless and Marty Franz confirmed that day one after the phone call from SOJ, they looked to use the SH-2 from the Saturn and its what Marty drew on the paper.

SEGA could have had SONY hardware, which has now been shown to be totally false and this comes from the then head of SEGA's R&D. Much like how SOJ and SOA didn't get on, or back in the early days of this board how SOJ kept SOA in the dark over the Saturn
When its clear as day, that not only did SOA know all about it and were pushing for a crappy CPU, but most of the gaming press knew of and about the Saturn.
It's pretty clear Tom a lair, but also SOA was pretty useless in making the jump to the 32Bit transition. Still to their credit they made a better development interface than SOJ.
Don't jump to conclusions. And seriously, tone down the "Tom is a liar" thing. You're only pushing people away from whatever it is you're arguing for.Quote:

He doesn't need word. Just Grammarly plugin for his browser.Quote:
