And the earliest ARM machines ran rings around the Amiga because they had a custom-designed RISC CPU, so they could dispense with the custom co-processors. (They still cost a lot more than the Amiga, since they targeted the expensive education sector. Later on ARM also got used for videogame arcades with the 3DO.)
