In the days when your 4 colourVGa PC could barely add up the number of it's own legs you had the Amiga with 4 sound voices dedicated video chip architecture and 16 million colours on screen with true multi-tasking. ( which your PC did not quite manage until windows XP )It could outperform any PC on the market whilst running at 20% of the clock speeds.
There was a RISC based Amiga planned that woiuld have been able to run MACOS WINOS and AMIGAOS. I truly think that people conspired to kill that. It would have killed off the Mac.

yeah the Amiga when it was in it's prime was a killer computer, made PCs of the same price look like they were pocket calculatorsI had an KCS PowerPC board for my Amiga, a 086 PC on a card which I used for programming college stuff
but couldn't afford to upgrade to an 060 processor & high end graphics card etc. because the bits were just too expensive and eventually moved over to the PC
I still run WinUAE on occasion for the odd game
