Yes, but why :)
A500, A600, and A2000 have the same CPU.

Does A2000 come with FAST RAM by default ? That could explain the difference.
When I add FAST RAM to my A600 it is then equal to A2000.


CHIP RAM is shared....if the CPU has to wait for it's turn it will take longer to perform a task. FAST RAM is not shared so it's.....err.....FASTer :-)

Oh boy, nobody understands me :)

Stock A500 and stock A600, noooo FAST RAM, give the result of 0.75 compared to stock A2000.
Why ?
All those Amigas have the same 68000 7MHz CPU.

Do stock A2000s come with FAST RAM ? That would explain the difference in speed. If not, then how is it faster with the same CPU and CHIP RAM alone.


It's a comparision against an A2000 with FAST RAM (which was the most common situation), as you mentioned if you add FAST RAM to an A500 it reads the same.
