Now Apple has reached the integration that Commodore had: they made all the processors (CPU, graphics chip, sound chip, interface adapters) for their Commodore 64 and other 8-bit machines, and for the AMIGA.

I’m worried it will bring even more close control by them of what we run and how we run it on those computers, but having lots of custom chips (many of them in one package) for all kinds of things with a unified memory architecture is amazing, a modern AMIGA.

Nitpick: for the Amigas they used Motorola 68000 series CPUs.

Yes, you are absolutely correct.
