The PC for what it's worth, was a far more upgradable thing, but most people never upgrade it from stock, so when MPC standards came out, any advantage the Amiga had was eliminated. It was also in direct competition with the Atari Falcon which had similar capabilities. However most games made for it, actually were better than versions made for the other two platforms. The Amiga, as a consumer (eg not professional) machine, eg word processor, occasional games, video editing, was where it was actually significantly better. Really, you would have had to compare the Amiga 2000 (which actually used IDE hard drives as the only common part between it and the PC) to a late 386 era PC and Mac Quadra to actually get any idea as to why any of these PC's were better than the other. Really, if you put an Amiga 500 beside an Apple II, without them plugged into a TV, nobody would know that the Amiga had thousands of colors while the Apple II had 4. There was two primary factors outside of Commodore's incompetence:ДЄ) The machines were advertised as multimedia machines, in a time when nobody knew what multimedia wasД«) The Mac was a 'better' as in more elegant, designed system. Does anyone else have their own stories about Commodore's Amiga? And was the Amiga a computer ahead of its time?

A local high school student had originally set it up, and 'he's the only one who knows how to fix software glitches. But in 2015 reported on an Amiga which had been running a school's heating system for the last 30 years. I'll always remember Joel Hodgson's Amiga joke on a 1991 episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Nfortunately, internal struggles within Commodore would signal the beginning of the end. 'With 4096 colours, 4 channels of digital audio, and preemptive multitasking, was capable of incredible things for the time.'

While the Amiga had other 16-bit computers beat on technology, it didn't really have anything compelling to do with that hardware. But it just wasn't enough, as this video from Ahoy's Stuart Brown explains. The machine, which went up against with the likes of the IBM PC and the Macintosh, offered far superior hardware than its competitors.

More information on profiling Atari code with Hatari is in its manual:Long-time Slashdot reader Mike Bouma quotes Gizmodo:Дespite being ahead of its time when it was unveiled in 1985, the Commodore Amiga didn't survive past 1996. On Linux, I use this to view GraphViz dot callgraph files: From the callgraph I've removed most leaf and intermediate nodes so that only branches and more CPU consuming nodes remain, this makes it much more readable. Profile has some errors in it because some functions were missing symbols (I noticed rts instructions followed by instruction extracting args from stack without any symbol for function start) so their costs get assigned to executed (named) function preceeding them, but they were pretty few, so I think that the profile is still fairly accurate. That command will produce output like in the attached top CPU users (text file) and CPU utilization callgraph (in GraphViz dot format). Then you can run (on host) the profile disassembly post-processing command which was output by the script.
