@stefcep2
It is a nice read, I still have the mag here now. It was talking about usability and productivity and not raw power.  
A 486 25mhz pumped out around 15-20 MIPS depending on the architecture. Comparable to a 68040 @ 25Mhz.  
The 486 with 16Bit SB Cards in 93-94 was when the Amiga started being overtaken.

Touche @gizz72.  
I'm with you. Amiga's relevance is not in it's architecture. It is in it's indelible imprint on our psyche.
