I remember reading back in the days about the Archimedes computers and how the "all-mighty and powerful" ARM CPU is was using made it loads faster than an equivalent Amiga or even a 386 PC.

I remember they ran a comparison of different computers in an old CU Amiga issue, the Archimedes was represented by the A3010 model. Also there was a 386 PC, a Falcon 030 and a Mac of some sort. The Amiga of course took 1st and 2nd place, but that was to be expected.

But how did it compare against an Amiga in reality? I've never used an Archimedes at all, so I'd be interested to know.
