- Here is some interesting info about the 060 I picked
- up surfing through one of Motorolas WWW links a while ago.
- Check out the speed-comparisons at the bottom.

- MC68060:
-
- This is the latest and most powerful member of the 68K family.
- The '060 is designed as an upgrade from a '040 with 2.5 to 3.5 times the
- performance of the 25 mhz '040. It uses Superscalar pipelined architecture
- which means it can perform more than one instruction at a time.
- The 68060 allows simultaneous execution of two integer instructions
- (or 1 integer and 1 float instruction) and one branch during each clock cycle.
- A branch cache allows most branches to execute in zero cycles.
- This CPU has some RISC processor features. The chip is all hardwired - there
- is no microcode in it. It incorporates a JTAG interface to help simplify
- the debugging process.
-
- The on-board caches have been increased to 8 Kbytes each and the '060 has
- 2.5 million transistors on the single die.
- The '060 uses various dynamic power management techniques to reduce power
- consumption.
- The '060 has a clock speed of 50 Mhz currently with a future model at
- 66 Mhz and since the '060 is a static device, the clock has no lower limit
- and can even be stopped. This part operates at a Vcc of 3.3 volts and
- interfaces to both 3 and 5 volt peripherals.
- The input pins can swing between 0 and 5 volts and the output pins between
- 0 and 3.3 volts. It has been available as a sample part for some time now
- and is probably now entering quantity production. This may be the last member
- of the 68K family. The '060 does not support dynamic bus sizing except with
- the addition of the MC68150 chip.
-
-
- The '060 offers 100 MIPS @ 66mhz and 250 million operations per second
- @ 50 mhz. SPECint = 50 @ 50Mhz. There is a M68060 software package (M68060SP)
- that supplies software emulation for unimplemented integer instructions,
- FPU software and other library subroutines. This package is available on
- the Motorola BBS system and now, AESOP.
-
- Apple Computer has announced it will not use the MC68060 in the Macintosh.
- It has switched to the PowerPC RISC chips. The Motorola 68000 series no
- longer appears to have a future in the desktop market. The '060 will likely
- find application in advanced high power embedded controllers.
- It has a list price of $US 308 probably at quantity. (unverified) Motorola
- claims it will add peripheral devices to the '060 in the future as it has
- with its 8 bit parts. This is possible because the '060 is of a modular
- design. The '060 is available in a 223 PGA package and will fit into a
- 179 pin 68040 super-socket. The extra '060 pins are in towards the center
- of the socket.
-
- The '060 is starting to appear in VMEbus computers from such companies
- as Motorola, Heurikon, EKF, Synergy (2'060s!) and many others.
- There are '060 accelerator cards available for the Amiga and a European
- firm Escom will have the Amiga A4000T/060 computer on the market in late
- October '95. It appears the 68K line will have a long life due to its
- straight forward architecture, simple bus interface and ease of machine
- language programming.

- My Intel 80386 clone (with 80387) 40 Mhz is 11049 Dhrystones.
- My original IBM XT 4.77 Mhz computer shows 300
- Dhrystones, my made-in-Canada 286 10 Mhz clone @ 1,889, a Cray EL92 @
- 14,286 and a Sparcstation IPC @ 23613.
- Motorola claims a Macintosh Quadra (68040) runs 15-20% faster than a
- 50Mhz 80486.
- Spec numbers are most useful to measure computer systems and are
- inappropriate for CPUs so are not shown here.
- The Cray EL90 is a 1 gigaflop machine; a J916 peaks at 3.2 gigs @64 bits.
-
- The new IBM PowerPC Embedded Processor PPC403GA may achieve 72k dhrystones.
- A PowerPC NT 3.51 running in a Msdos mode gave 13k and 83k in native mode.
- (these two not confirmed as accurate).
- A 486 50 Mhz returned around 20k and a Pentium 90 mHz 70.5 k Dhrystones and
- 26.8 K Whetstones.
