Wow, that was a nice letter, and your presumably write for datakompaniet, really makes you wanna buy goods from you :-(
Don't give such idiotic answers, give us some measurements, and some data on the A620.
To make the A620 twice as fast as A1200 would take more than a twice as fast coprocessor, as the CHIP bus in the A600 is stil only 16 Bit, while the A1200 has 32 bit wide bus.
This means that while the CPU might be twice as fast, the chipram will still only be half as fast.
This is the facts, look at some schematics if you don't beleive them.
