> Varisys could probably design a killer P5010 board for our market.

That's kind of what A-Eon's plan seems to be:

"Also check out the new multi-core CPUs being developed by Freescale, in particular the 64-bit dual core, 2.2 GHz P5020 and the 8-core, 1.5GHz P4080."

"Ben Hermans encourages people to look at Freescale P4 P5 architectures for future of AmigaOne range."

"Ben Hermans also referred to the P4 and P5 processors from Freescale for future AmigaOne computer."

So if A-Eon are pleased with Varisys's performance regarding development of the Nemo board I don't see a reason why they wouldn't want to expand their business relation to an X1000's successor (if there really will be any, that is), based on QorIQ.
