The Amiga is a unique computer platform with its own architecture which is optimized for graphics and general Multimedia applications. It is built on the Motorola 680x0 processor family, which you can find more details about in the OS Chapter.
Current flagship is the Amiga 4000T with a 68040 or 68060 processor. It comes in a tower case and offers many expansion options via plug-in boards or inside mountable drives. The 32-bit processor works at a clock speed of 25 MHz or 50 MHz.
The Amiga 1200 is a compact home computer, which has all its electronics built into the keyboard case. Still it offers a 32-bit 68EC020 processor with a 32-bit data bus and 14 MHz clock speed, 2 MB RAM, a full keyboard, and provision to mount a 2.5" harddisk drive inside.
All current Amiga models run with the AA chipset and the operating system AmigaOS 3.1.
