Motorola 68060
Jump to user comments
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.
