Certainly a (not programmable) CPU works regardless of the OS but a efficient OS can speed things up because of
- smart code (better algorithems)
- less working code (for a task, at a time slot) and therefore more code in CPU-cache.
It obviously can have a tremendous effect if your programm needs fully loaded (DLLs, etc.) only 10 MB instead of 50 MB for (nearly) exactly the same tasks.
Even a filesystem can make a relative big difference since today you have lots of RAM and flash memory. A good OS can speed up video encoding - not to mention that you can parallel browse the internet without (comparatively) delay or gaps in response (using the internet app).
I don't know exact numbers but maybe AmigaOS can do (in the future) everything what MSwindows does with only 20% of the installed code amount and surely this will have some effect on speed and power consumption.
Well, so far my optimistic hopes - the X1000 has to prove what AmigaOS can do but the big point is: it's not only what AmigaOS can do already now ... it's what AmigaOS could do in 5 years with lots of money behind (my vision: Germany or the EU funds massiv decelopment with hundreds of millions Euro per annum).
The EU spends billions (10^9) Euros for MS and Intel so it makes big sense to develop an own OS. Think of all the saved money in industry, military, science, office and homecomputing when there is a good (bugfree, fast, small, real time capable) OS for everything and everyone.
It's not so that MSwindows and Linux are perfect and unbeatable - Amiga can do better.
