A couple weeks ago, Kevtris over on the Atari Age Forums, who is also one of Analogue's hardware devs, got his hands on a 2020 unit of the Intellivision Amico and cracked it open to show what the near production ready hardware for the ill-fated fever dream of Tommy Tallarico would have been like under the hood.

It's official. Tommy Tallarico's reputation is in the crapper.
 
Welp. That was journey like these people wasted time and video bandwidth for just a crappier 2016 phone.

At least according to the few remaining Amico faithful, it only failed because of Cancel Culture

I heard that's a snapdragon 624, a low end chip from the last decade, it features some cortex a53 cores running at 1.8GHz, to put that in perspective, that's the same hardware arquitecture found on the raspberry pi 3 but running at higher clock speeds, it's also the same architecture found on my cheap anbernic rg cubexx, it's basically the stuff you could find on the sub 200 dollar phones from the mid to late 2010's. It should be fast enough to emulate most ps1 games, some n64 games and a few dreamcast/saturn games, in other words, it's not very good, even for the time.
