Well, there is the Amiga X1000, which is a dual core, and runs about $3000 (ouch). There is the Amiga X5000 that is probably coming at some point. There is the talos workstation under development, with a power8 (so actually pretty new stuff) which appears to be about $4000 (for the board, CPU and RAM are extra), assuming they get it made. https://www.crowdsupply.com/raptor-computing-systems/talos-secure-workstation If they make these, they will be very impressive I think, but not cheap. There are probably a few more options (freescale quad core reference boards maybe?) -- Len Sorensen
