040 is much Faster! at least if you compare how many MIPS it does at the same clock speed (MHZ).
But the GFX hardware on Amiga is quite different to your PC. To play doom on amiga, the chunky data must be converted to blit. I don't feel like going into detail, many others have already explained the difference between Chunky and Blit.
Play any game ported from the amiga to MSDOS or Windows, and marvel at how jerky and blocky it is!
