Another thing to keep in mind is the age of the 68020 vs. 80386.
The way the Intel processor releases "leapfrog" with the Motorola
processor releases, one should keep in mind that the Motorola counterpart
to the 80386 would probably be the 68030 which is just going into production
and will begin appearing in Suns, Macs, Apollos, etc. after the first of the
year.

Looking at it this way, the '020 not only compares well with the '386; it
blows the socks off its Intel counterpart, the '286. And the '030? I can't
wait.
