Several people have mentioned the Byte article which compared the Amiga
favorably to the NeXT in terms of performance.  I chatted with Ben Smith,
the author of the article, on BIX and he admits that he was comparing the
yet-to-be-released Amiga 3000ux with the out-of-production 030 NeXTs.
The article was very misleading in that it gave the impression that he
was talking about the 030 and 040 NeXTs.  But he was not.

At any rate, the new 040 NeXTs have started shipping and the machine is
damn fast.  It is in an entirely different class, performance-wise, than
the Amiga 3000ux.
