Amigas have builtin CPU cache(s) in the same manner as MACs. MACs 
doesn't come with any other kinda cache. They doesn't share the obsolete 
hardware architecture with older pcs. With the so called external cache. 
And if You have WarpEngine f.e. than it's memory access is really fast, 
zero-wait-state burst etc.
