Natomi sounds kind of neat, but wouldn't a compatible OS on a say a G4 or some-such be better?  Anyway, 68060 is faster than any classic Amiga.

Measuring performance is always tricky since you have the graphics co-processors to take into account, plus blitter, etc.

A base 68000 at 8Mhz is 1 Mip compared to 110 Mips for 68060 75Mhz.

But the original Amiga 1000 had graphics co-processors that could push pixels faster than the 68K could.  So what is performance?

It still comes back to what exactly is being measured.  It's even more muddy these days with so many processors to take into account.
