No matter what you think, the Amiga is not a video game console. It is a gaming PC (although a very good one). Comparing them is what I object to, as it twists facts to suit a point that isn't even relevant to the point of discussion you are responding to.
If you owned both systems, like I did, you will compare both systems to decide which version of a game you would like to get.
Of course the Amiga 500 would have a faster processor than the SNES, even the first model (although the first model came out three years before, not five. The Amiga 500 launched in '87, and the Super Famicom launched in Japan in '90).
The first Amiga, the desktop Amiga 1000 came on the market in 1985. I already stated the Amiga 500, a homecomputer model, came on the market in 1987. The Super Famicom came on the Japanese market in 1990, but the Snes in Europe in 1992. I believe that's exactly what I stated before.
