Well I wouldn't get to excited to be honest since it's a really poor processor choice .. a quick cut n paste from the email sent out :

"Apple agreed to continue supplying chips to pre-existing PA Semi customers for a limited time period. Fortunately Varisys, our hardware partner, had a long-standing relationship with PA-Semi and we were able to secure a supply of PA6T CPUs for the AmigaOne X1000 project, making it the first and most probably the last desktop computer based on the unique PA-Semi CPU technology as Apple have now closed down the PA-Semi product line"

So basically they've deliberately chosen to continue development using a CPU that is no longer manufactured/developed  ... way to go for upgrades and future support!  

Hands up who is buying one now ?
