A-EON technology will start the distribution of AmigaONE X5000 systems in the next coming weeks. Prices are between € 2300 and €2500 for a complete system and for the motherboard €1700. The AmigaONE X5000 is the latest PowerPC based computer developed by A-EON Technology. The AmigaONE X5000 board is designed around Freescale’s QorlQ P5 64-bit PowerPC CPU SoC range. These high performance, low power-consumption multi-core CPUs contain 64-bit e5500 cores manufactured in 45 nm process technology. The AmigaONE X5000 uses a 4GB micro SD card as it’s ROM. This contains the system’s firmware and is removable for reflashing. There is a long running tradition, started originally by Commodore engineers, on having The B-52s song titles on Amiga compatible hardware. The AmigaONE X5000 motherboard is no exception to this tradition as it features Breezin’ on the silkscreen. Source Amiga-news.de

This announcement is NOT an official statement from the manufacturer or the distributor and is based on a chain of rumors repeated through several sources.
Since we all know who runs this site, maybe its best if we waited for an official statement.

It was strange they dont mention os4.1 running on x5000 at all.

I saw some X5000s running Os4.1, but these were all betatester machines.
Certainly an awesome setup once it is running

They have had stock of the boards for 2 years now, they were ust waiting for os4 to run stably on the machine, which it is now. I personally witnessed serveral x5000s running throughout the Amiwest show. Matter of fact there were as many X5000s on display as classics almost!
