They'd like to claim the high end. That doesn't mean they actually there, any more than any other of the zillions of Amiga-industry promises made since ESCOM closed the Amiga Technologies doors.
i7 CPU, 6-12GB DRAM, certainly at two full PCIe x 16 slots (well, at least they tried on that... they have two full lenght PCIe slots, but they degrade to x8 if you use them both... so there's really only one x16 slot).
Well, they're letting you fill in that assumption, rather than just outright saying it. It would be really nice if Amiga wanna-be computer companies stopped doing this.. what's the point of raising Amigaoid hopes once again, just to smash them. I would like this to not be another one of those, but really... not much to expect here. PowerPC CPUs have a hard time beating Intel Atoms on performance these days (and the ARM may be a valid competitor, soon). I can't imagine how this is going to be anything but overpriced and underwhelming.
And I'd love to be proved wrong.

http://www.tux.org/~mayer/linux/results2.html My G4 is 1.42 times faster than the Intel Atom.
My G4 is only 3 times slower than fastest overclocked i7.
My G4 is only 1.43 times slower my 6600 .
x86 can be faster than the PowerPC, if
1.Problem can be carried out over multiple cores
2.Software developer knows how to write software for multiple cores.
3.Software developer has time to make the software on multiple cores.
Most of the software on my pc use only one core,
and works just a bit faster than my G4.
Next time check, before you write.
