The ZX 81 and ZX Spectrum were less powerful computers. At least when
compared to the Commodore 64 and other 8bit computers on the market at
that time, using a 6502 CPU. Due to the advanced GPU of for example the
Commodore 64.

Still I believe the Z80 was more powerful than the 6502, disregarding
customs chips for a certain computer.
