I have an Atari XE with a 6809 processor, expanded memory, an video enhancement board and a second sound chip.
You do realize the Atari XT computers were released in 1985 while the C64 was released in 1982? A little bit apples and oranges. A better comparison would be the
128D. Basically Atari's last 8bit compared to Commodore's last 8bit. The 128D(and 128) had both an 8510 and Z80A. The 128 line sold about 6M units worldwide.

I have no particular love for the C64.
It uses a 6502 based processor and I was mever impressed with that.
Why? From a programmer's perspective?
There were a few really nice
65816 based accelerators for the C64 and C128 if you like those better. They are a bit hard to come by these days and expensive, but a few projects out there may bring a new one in the future.
