At least AGA had 4x bandwidth compared to original chipset and ECS. Bus width went from 16 bit to 32 bit and fast page mode provided another bw doubling.

- vidarh 7y agoAbsolutely. But it was started way too late because it was a rushed stopgap rather than the original plan. Both AGA and Akiko were basically results of Commodores multi-year failure to manage engineering properly and aim for manageable iterations. AGA would have been great if it'd come a couple of years earlier. Instead lots of resources were put into next gen chips that never surfaces because they were way too ambitious.
