- That matching is almost an insult. ALL of the 68000 processors are 32 bits.
- The difference between the 68000 and the 68020 is the same as the difference
- between the 80386SX (16 bit bus, 32 bit internal) and the 80386 (32 bit bus,
- 32 bit internal). Your table should look like this:
-
- 68000 = 80386SX
- 68010 = 80386SX
- 68020 = 80386
- 68030 = 80486SX (if the 030 is an MMU version)
- 68040 = 80486
- 68060 = Pentium
-
- In actual practice, however my 7.16 MHZ Amiga 1000 ran circles around
- my 486SX33 running Windows, even though the 486 is a considerably faster
- processor. Count this up to the blitter, 32 bit architecture, and
- directly mapped video memory (no slow ISA bus).
