Commodore did have a line of IBM PC clones if that's what you're suggesting. Adopting x86 without the other elements of the PC architecture would've been pointless. The 386 would've made programming just about bearable for devs used to the m68k's flat address space and elegant from-scratch ISA design. It would not have been very successful.

How can we know? There were many developers used to Amiga hardware. With an easy to way port games to an x86, who knows what could have happened?
