The Power A5000 was a planned Amiga clone computer, announced by German DCE Computer Service GmbH and British Amiga peripherals manufacturer Power Computing Ltd. (Not to be confused with Power Computing Apple clone manufacturer). It was one of the first Amiga clone computers announced after Gateway purchased the Amiga in 1997.^[1] ^[2]

The original Motorola 680x0 based system was revised in favor of the PowerPC G3 based system, since the future for the Amigas with 680x0 processors was very uncertain. In 1999, the A5000 was cancelled due to delay of hardware components and announcements of the new Amiga system Amiga Multimedia Convergence Computer (Amiga MCC) by Amiga, Inc.
