Just announced this morning the new quad-core 1GB RAM Raspberry Pi:

And an interesting article from Techradar where Ebon Upton of the Raspberry Pi foundation hopes this newer Pi will be powerful enough to emulate A1200 level Amigas:

I hope so too.  I have a Pi and have seen but not tried the Amiga emulators on it.  It's not going to be an FPGA Arcade by any stretch; I don't know the state of ARM based versions of Amiga emulators, but it's something I would love to see.
