The 050 core apparently needs a bit of work before prime time, right now they seem to be focusing on getting the best benchmarks out of the 060 daughterboard.
The point with the natami is not only duplicate a 4000/060, but using modern memory and putting the coprocessors on stereoids get the most out of the arcitecture as possible. I have no idea about final price though.

The price can be sourced by anyone familiar with fpga. I can't recall the exact fpga used, but they have at least mentioned the brand name if not exact model somewhere. Source is closed source.

If your questioning if they actually have made progress in any way, I would say that is quite disrespectful.
I'd have to say I congratulate everyone spending their time with the Amiga or related technology. If someone actually gets something new to the markedplace that is better than escom and gateway ever did.
