 Yes it is. At least the 68040 was much faster than the 486 in FP calculations.
 (I'm talking about a per MHZ comparison). Dunno about the '060, however I
 think that it will probably be faster than a comparable Pentium. The problem
 is that the 68060 is available @50MHz or @66MHz while the Pentium is
 heading to 200MHz :(
 Things will change with PPC introduction though...

 Cheers
