Here's the first specs for the new Amiga from Amiga Inc.

Just out of pure curiosity, if I was to buy a complete PC (excluding monitor) for the same price how fast would the emulated Amiga  in UAE be in comparison to this system?

Just thinking aloud here, but if the speeds of native code on the ACK board and emulated code on a low cost PC are comparable then wouldn't people be better off with the PC as they'd get full Amiga compatibility?  IIRC Amithlon was doing 400MHz speeds in 2001, surely UAE would be able to do the same 6 years later?

I haven't been in the market for a PC since 2000 or so and i haven't used UAE in rather a long time so I really am totally clueless about all of this.

UAE would be MUCH faster.

Interesting.  Perhaps pushing it a bit further,  how close is UAE getting to AmigaOne native speeds?  For example, I wonder what the time difference is between encoding an MP3 in UAE on a reasonable spec PC compared to using PPC native code on an A1.

Why would you bother to spend nearly that much on a motherboard alone... which is out of date, slow and barely compatible with you amiga software... just to run a simple, basic Operating System (with no bundled productivity apps... a la iLife etc...) that has name from your past?

Why?

WHY?
