Dave Haynie wanted AGA motherboard upgrades for existing A3000 owners, but Commodore management didn't allow it. Commodore wasn't selling Amiga chipsets and motherboard reference designs for the Amiga clone market.
AMD and Intel are selling motherboard chipsets for the PC clone market. AMD's X670E has two X670 chips for double $$$.
In 1992, AMD has $1.6 billion USD revenues which is larger than Commodore's $1 billion peak.
