IMO, the technical and Amiga understanding of the article author could have been better but it is not deliberately biased. Both the Amiga 1200 and Atari Falcon had bottlenecks in stock form but the Falcon had more processing performance while not being the easiest to take advantage of. The DSP is very difficult to use from a compiler but can be useful for offloading the CPU for some tasks, especially related to audio. The Amiga 1200 is really meant to be expanded. I'm surprised C= didn't remove the CPU and some logic from the motherboard and ship them all with a CPU card (of choice) to save a few dollars and add higher margin upscale models. The low clocked 68EC020 is really slow but was no doubt very cheap for C= at the time. No CPU data cache and slow (chip) memory is a very bad combination and one of the reasons why a simple fast memory expansion provides a huge performance gain.
as usual, within amiga subject, i cant really find a scratch in your reasoning..
