I think most users will be underwhelmed with its performance.  8,800 MIPS at 2.0 GHz is about where the leading Pentium processors were back in 2003.

Sounds like there was a surplus of them from 2007 laying around and A-Eon was able to buy them up at a discount and them charge Amiga fanatics a premium price.

Well, only the most fanatical users will pay $2225 USD for technology that performs on par with systems back in 2003.  I guess if your hobby is buying obsolete hardware, then knock yourself out.
