- : Most interesting list :)
-
- : The main point is that a 40MHz 68EC030 is cheaper by a factor of 3,
- : mainly because the 40MHz 68030 just exists in PGA package.
-
- Not by a factor three though. The plastic 030/40 is $48
- in Qts of 36 - the EC040/20 is only $76 in Qts of 24.
-
- : A 33MHz
- : 68030 (in PLCC package) is just only slightly more expensive. So you
- : could argue wether you want a 40MHz CPU without MMU or a 33MHz one
- : with MMU. But it is a bit difficult to argue why a slower machine
- : has to cost more.
-
- Yep. :)
-
- : Another interesting fact is that a 25MHz 040 is only slightly more
- : expensive than a 50MHz 030 and a 33MHz LC040 is even cheaper.
- : This basically rules out the 50MHz 030 for everything and the choice
- : is between 33MHz 68030, 40MHz 68EC030 (about same cost) or a more
- : expensive 040 version.
-
- This probably has something to do with ATs choice of the 40Mhz.
-
- : Also, the $100 more for the 040 are what the manufacturer would have to
- : pay (well, probably less in large quantity). You can't expect that the end
- : customer had to pay the same prices even when you just consider the cost
- : of the CPU chip only (there is more... faster logic and RAM, cooling, etc).
-
- You're right, but the price of the cheapest 040 is only %40
- or so more than the very cheap 030/40.
- I sure wouldn't mind spending a little bit more on a A1200/040.
- Of course, I'm not sure of exactly how much extra glue logic
- it would take to acchive this. And you'll loose the ability
- to upgrade with a FPU. Might even turn out to be too hot.
