   My understanding, based on what little information there is, is that
the 68040 will have a built in FPU that is similar to the Weitek 3167.
That is, it will do simple operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide,
loads, compares) very quickly in hardware, while relying on software 
handlers to execute more complex instructions like transcendentals.

   Of course, until about a year ago, the 80486 FPU was rumored to be
of such a design, too. In reality, the 486's FPU is, except for speed 
improvements, mostly unchanged from the 80387.
