ACK has pretty much confirmed that their high-end Amiga system will use PA Semi chips. In an IRC session, Adam of ACK replied to the question how ACK was going to build a system faster than anything Apple ever produced on the PPC side: "Think PA Semi quad-core chips." Adam also said ACK started talks with PA Semi about a year ago, while also promising specifications of the high-end system to be released coming Monday.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amiga, Inc. releases a Linux-based version of this board. They'll need to recap their investments and AmigaOS is a single-user workstation so, in order to satisfy any potential server customers, they may just offer Linux as an option as well.

The machine is a bit interesting, but more for the high end yet affordable PowerPC perspective that the Amiga part, which may come in handy since AmigaOS4 may or may not be available for these when released due to recent legal troubles. I'd be more likely to buy one of these as a Linux workstation than an Amiga.
