Motorola 68060
<processor> A 32-bit
microprocessor from
Motorola, the successor to the
Motorola 68040.
The 68060 is the highest performance
680x0 family processor currently (April 1995) available.
It has 2 to 3 times the performance of the 68040.
The 68060 is probably the last development from Motorola in the high performacnce 680x0 series.
They don't want to compete with their own
PowerPC chips.
The 680x0 series is intended more for embedded systems, where it is already very popular.
New developments here seem to integrate more peripheral functions on chip rather than increasing processing power.
