Crappy comparison of Amiga 1200 vs Atari Falcon

It's on an Atari site so not sure what I was expecting. Conclusion was that the machines were pretty much equal which is false. The A1200 was much better of course except for the DSP on the Atari which had limited 3rd party software support.

Not bad comparison. I'd love that A1200 had a DSP like Falcon has (or that coders took advantage of Delphina's 56002 DSP as much as Atari coders do with their 56001).

Here you have some videos showing the work of a brilliant programmer running on a standard 16MB Falcon in action:

For Amiga long ago should build 030/040/060/PPC processor card with DSP and 16-bit audio codec with mixer Paula and Line output and input and microphone/headphones/CD-input/Digital etc.

Cards on the clock port / Zorro is nothing special, inefficient.

Falcon DSP bus was quite slow too, slower than ZorroII. I guess that more DSP software could be ported to Delfina.

Falcon had nice 16bit screenmodes although it lacked sprites and its blitter was more primitive than Amiga's one.

Anyway skilled programmers use DSP to accelerate drawing lots of software sprites:

they also have a nice NeoGeo emu, btw.
