A team member has announced in that same thread on A.org that he expects NATAMI to be ~500Euro.

With FPGA based machines, you can release one every 2 years that is twice as fast as the previous one for the same cost. That IS a platform with a future. With the X1000, it's being released with a discontinued processor already. That's not good.

Also, the cpu in the Natami is employing alot of modern techniques in a CISC cpu. It will initially run ~133Mhz but feel like a 500Mhz RISC cpu.

Games like Alien Breed 3D that run at 9fps on a real Amiga will run at >100fps on a Natami but only run at maybe 30fps on a SAM since you have faster memory but being hobbled by an emulation layer. (note: these are guestimates)
