If I find the time to design suitable caches, I expect CPU core speed between 32 and 40 MHz. At 20 MHz, the Dhrystone benchmark gave something between SuperGoldCard and Q40. For the general public, I might hold back some design files until expenses for manufacturing have been covered. On a personal basis, I can be asked for more. I'm also considering to release the board schematics at some point. In this case, a person with FPGA skills could use the board for general purposes. For example, I have successfully tried two different RISC CPUs on the Q68, but I did not design any memory or video controllers for those.
