The Amiga as a hardware platform needs modernization; PPC-Amigas are incompatible with old 680x0 CPUs as well as with Amiga custom chips. So they are not Amigas. Vampire promises both a 680x0-compatible CPU and custom chip compatible hardware in the form of SAGA. See? Much better. It's still an incomplete design though- not worth any emulation until it matures more, if ever. Not sure if it is possible to emulate well though. AMMX is a natural evolution that brings more power for certain tasks, like video decoding, alpha blending, texture filtering, and also an improvement over Pentium MMX and PPC Altivec.
