It's for the Falcon with 100MHz 68060 accelerator and it is getting only a few fps.

There are other reasons the Amiga coldfire boards were cancelled.

The chip package type they chose was obsoleted before the board was launched.

The compatibility was low.

The speed when running compatibility emulation was very low. (Lower than existing boards)

So what's stopping the development of an Amiga version of the CT60?

1) It is closed source

2) The A1200 Trapdoor and A3000/A4000 CPU Slot connectors are not made anymore (and you cannot use old ones due to them not meeting RoHS).

3) The MC68060RC50 E41J chip is no longer manufactured and not available in large quantities at a reasonable price.

4) Demand. There are clearly lots of Amiga 060 accelerators already out there which makes a small market even smaller.
