<h2>The Contenders</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Vampire V4 Standalone</strong>, an FPGA-implemented 68080 CPU that's genuinely blisteringly fast (sub-second Workbench boots), but software compatibility suffers since the 68080 isn't a perfect 68060 clone. Best for games and demos, not for daily productivity.</li>
<li><strong>A600GS / A1200NG</strong>, ARM-based boards running Amiberry underneath, in either a complete mini-PC (A600GS) or a drop-in motherboard replacement with real floppy and CompactFlash support (A1200NG). Cheap, plug-and-play, but with occasional software compatibility quirks.</li>
<li><strong>A600GS / A1200NG</strong>, ARM-based boards running Amiberry underneath, in either a complete mini-PC (A600GS) or a drop-in motherboard replacement with real floppy and CompactFlash support (A1200NG). Note: this A1200NG is a third-party upgrade board, a different product entirely from Retro Games' upcoming "The A1200" console covered on its own page. Cheap, plug-and-play, but with occasional software compatibility quirks.</li>
<li><strong>MiSTer with the Minimig core</strong>, "loses" on paper to A600GS in raw MIPS numbers, but wins on emulation accuracy and software compatibility. Its D-Cache-on mode is faster still but introduces glitches, so it's best left off for stability.</li>
<li><strong>The real decision factor</strong>, not speed, but compatibility, stability, and how much you value hardware-accurate timing versus raw throughput.</li>
</ul>
