First, I apologize sending a wrong email to this thread (the one mentioning cleanup branch and weave...)... I didn't realize it until you send one more message.
Oh, right, yes AMP does get higher page rank. But by how much? And how high it will becomes to make the rank relevant? Who are your competitors, such that a similar search would have involve another blogs/sites such that they have the budget to develop a separate version of their website in AMP?
I'm just reiterating the point that only those who has fat budget might be able to deliver AMP in addition to what they were already delivering, and those may only have minor overlap with your articles. And then let say it move your article from rank 1000000 to rank 10000, would that be relevant? Only when you are so popular to be able to land on the first page of the search, you might need to worry about any potential benefits of page rank from AMP.

I was researching AMP pages from the view point of alternate exposure in search engines. Not from the view point of making page faster.
The AMP pages get priority in Google, as cache pages, they show up faster.
My doubt was the Google's cache, as people would not come to the original URL, but to Google's URL. And in long term, I don't think Google shall get that power.
