Try the latest issue of IEEE Micro (Feb 90).  This is their "Hot Chips"
issue that has articles on some selected architectures.

The 68040 article included is the first of two parts.  The first part
looks at the integer unit (including branch handling) and floating-point
unit.  The second part (due out in June) looks at the cache design,
memory management, and the bus.
