my 2 cents this is dead on arrival apple bought the cpu company that made cpus for x1000, so they can only make what stock they allready bought has apple will make cpus a4 , a5 etc for only for ios devices.
You can still buy new-old stock even of 680x0 CPU's. As such I very much doubt that the supply of PA6T will dry up until long after X1000 has ceased production, whether for bad reasons (A-Eon failing) or good reasons (new models) - the potential production volumes we're talking about for the X1000 is so small that batches held back for warranty or to honor resupply contracts (with the US military, for starters) that will eventually get released for open sale as they're no longer needed could likely keep A-Eon supplied with CPUs for many years.
This is assuming that Apple didn't allow the fab that manufactured these CPU's to continue manufacturing them on license, in that case it'd be even less of an issue.
