Motorola 68060
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.
