That's an illusion. 320x256, 640x256 and 1280x256 are all the same resolution. Hint: SVGA CRTs and flat panels don't switch modes when switching between these compatible resolutions. These are not different resolutions in this context.

It's an OS feature that they didn't add. Any recent graphics card can do that pretty easily because the resolutions are just doubled like in my example above. In fact, a graphics card can do this better than an Amiga because it can do proper up scaling so that you can mix truly different resolutions like 640x512 and 800x600.

If it's better than anything we have now, it would've been better than anything available back then.
