Hyperion just isn't interested in porting AmigaOS onto a cheap, mass market hardware solution.

AROS on ARM is the best option, with a 68k emulator for native app compatibility (hopefully still calling the native AROS libs, like OS4's Petunia emulator).

An FPGA for native hardware compatibility is a nice thought, but would turn the hardware from cheap commodity into bespoke expensive.  So a perfect match for this community.

Are there any details of what the Phoenix core is, compared to the Apollo core?

Getting ~140MHz '060 performance is amazing, if true. Maybe this benchmark is rather slanted towards running well on the Phoenix core, which may be very fast at specific operations that normal 68k processors aren't fast in.
