Is the Amiga architecture still relevant today?

Truly spoken... When it could've been:
- 1 MB chipmem (they just forgot to enlarge the registers!) & ECS capabilities with the first A500/2000s in 1987 + 8 bit lores graphics + chunky modes
- 32 bit chipset by 1990: 16 & 24 bit graphics in lores/hires, 16 bit audio, high density floppies, 32 bit blitter - even 8 MB chipmem

It would have been so easy to do, yet it didn't happen...

Akiko's C2P converter just used some spare die area on a chip they needed anyway, probably it won the 'hey, what else could we do with xx spare transistors?' contest.

A somewhat decent solution would've been a converter sitting in Lisa's data path, converting the pixels on the fly. Next gen Lisa  could have included those functions. As mentioned above, it wouldn't have been too big a pain to have included chunky modes at least for AGA.
