- Let's not get into x86 vs. 680x0 wars again. The x86 has finally won
- out, through brute force. If they were making 68060s at 100mhz or more
- then it would be a different story, but the buck stops with the 060/50
- and that is far slower than the fastest available Pentiums.
-
- The 68K line will always be remembered as more efficient than the x86 line
- at a given clock speed, especially when you consider the OS most people
- run on x86 machines, but ultimately they lost the clock speed race.
-
- You can hook your hopes on the PPC to kill the x86 line now.
