Oh, it's not just theory that 704x220x4 planes gives chip ram contention
🙂
In that mode, 65% of the original open cpu slots are used up, and 75% of
all blitter slots are unavailable (or thereabouts).
As everyone's been saying, chip ram access is the big blockage to doing
really heavy stuff on the Amiga. The 4-byte-wide access on the A3000 is
only a stop-gap measure… hopefully next year we'll see some new chips.
