Hi! I have read a short article about the new 68040 from Motorola. It should be a real beast. The average instruction takes 3.4 cycles on the 68030 and 1.3 cycles on the 68040. It looks like they are doing everything at the same time in this chip. This is a very big step in performance, it's 2.5 times as fast as the '030. I want to know more about the 68040, has anybody heard anything more? flame on The article says that the 68040 is 25% faster than the 80486 at the same clockspeed. flame off - Martin Carlberg - Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden
