Has this statement been made in public? If so, do you have a link to it?

Raptor's Talos would be a nice upgrade from the X5000.

Current MorphOS only works "so-so" on your Mac mini?
First, no, no statement has been made in public, and repeating anything said in private betrays a confidence.
But I do believe this statement is accurate.
Second, Power8 systems are slightly higher priced than the X1000 or X5000, but significantly higher performing.
And, with time, the price for a basic system could go down.
If these could be sourced at about $2K...
