- cmrdporcupine 11y agoYeah if you go back and compare an 8mhz ARMv2 in the Archimedes machines with equivalent code in an Atari ST or Amiga, the ARM wins handily. Of course the Amiga had the advantage with custom graphics hardware for certain workflows. But the 68k is not as cycle efficient as the ARM.
