- I dont wonder if a 060/50 can beat a P5 with much larger clock speed,
- because the Pentium is able to run only some 1-cycle integer
- instructions in both u- and v-pipes. Floats can use only other
- pipe, while the 68060 can execute a float inst. and two integer
- inst. at the same time. Now if 68060 was available in higher
- clock speeds.. Well. PPC is nicer anway.. 604 is really fast.
