No, he means a turbocard like the blizzard or apollo cards, where the CPU is a cheap x86 chip. All you'd need is a boot-rom on the board that loads a 68k emulator and then boots the amiga and you'd have the fastest classic amiga ever.

The downside is that the glue logic to attach an x86 chip to the amiga would be really hard to do (as far as i'm aware; i'm no hardware designer).
