The new instructions included some minor improvements and extensions to the supervisor state, several instructions for software management of a multiprocessing system ( which were removed in the 68060 ), some support for high-level languages which did not get used much ( and was removed from future 680x0 processors ), bigger multiply ( 32 × 32 → 64 bits ) and divide ( 64 ÷ 32 → 32 bits quotient and 32 bits remainder ) instructions, and bit field manipulations.

The 68060 design was led by Joe Circello.

Against the Pentium, the 68060 could perform better on mixed code, Pentium's decoder could not issue an FP instruction every opportunity and hence the FPU was not superscalar as the ALUs were.

This meant that optimizing for the 68060 was easier, no rules prevented FP instructions from being issued whenever was convenient for the programmer other than well understood instruction latencies.

The 68060 was the last development of the 680x0 series for general purpose use, abandoned in favor of the PowerPC chips.

The 68060 was introduced at 50 MHz on Motorola's 0. 6 µm manufacturing process.

By the time the 68060 was in production, Motorola had abandoned development of the 680x0-type chips in favor of the PowerPC.

The 68060 was the last 680x0-type processor from Motorola.

It came out long before the 68060, and was used mostly as an embedded processor in some consumer electronics items.

In desktops, the 68060 was used in some variants of the Amiga 4000T produced by Amiga Technologies, and available as a third party upgrade for other Amiga models.

For any number of reasons, likely that the 68060 was in development, that the Intel 80486 wasn't progressing as quickly as Motorola assumed it would, and that 68060 was a demanding project, the 68050 was cancelled early in development.

There is also no revision of the 68060, as Motorola was in the process of shifting away from the 68000 and 88k processor lines into its new PowerPC business, so the 68070 was never developed.

Had it been, it would have been a revised 68060, likely with a superior FPU ( pipelining was widely speculated upon on Usenet ).

In 2006, Debian project was looking into making its m68k port compatible with the ColdFires, as there are ColdFire models that are much faster than the 68060.

Motorola MVME-17x and Force Computer SYS68K VMEbus systems also used a 68060 CPU.

The P5 Pentium competitors included the Motorola 68060 and the PowerPC 601 as well as the SPARC, MIPS, and Alpha microprocessor families, most of which also used a superscalar in-order dual instruction pipeline configuration at some time.

series of television character generators used the 68060 as the main processor.

A pair of these boards each sporting a 68060 could be used to make the PBX fault tolerant.

Motorola mainly used even numbers for major revisions to the CPU core such as 68000, 68020, 68040 and 68060.

The Q60 extended the Sinclair QL design similarly from the slowest start to the ultimate pace of the 68K architecture's capabilities ; these 68060-based motherboards — at 66 MHz for the full 68060 or a non-FPU 68LC060 option overclocked to 80 MHz — are more than 100 times faster than the Sinclair QL while running the same operating systems.

On 386DX, 486, and full-spec 68020 through 68060 ( e. g. Mac II ) systems ( 32 bit data bus ), either four 30-pin SIMMs or one 72-pin SIMM are required for one memory bank.

The even numbers ( 68000, 68020, 68040, 68060 ) were reserved for major revisions to the 680x0 core architecture.

They can be clocked as high as 300 MHz, compared with 75 MHz for a 68060 ( the fastest " real " m68k processor ) without overclocking.

Phase5 designed the PowerUP boards ( Blizzard PPC and CyberStorm PPC ) featuring both a 68k ( a 68040 or 68060 ) and a PowerPC ( 603 or 604 ) CPU, which are able to run the two CPUs at the same time ( and share the system memory ).

They re-released the A1200 and A4000T, and introduced a new 68060 version of the A4000T.

Later designs feature the Motorola 68040 and Motorola 68060.

It is the successor to the 68030 and is followed by the 68060.

The Motorola 68060 is a 32-bit microprocessor from Motorola released in 1994.

The 68060 shares most architectural features with the P5 Pentium.

However, a significant difference is that the 68060 FPU is not pipelined and is therefore up to three times slower than the Pentium in floating point applications.

In contrast to that, integer multiplications and bit shifting instructions are significantly faster on the 68060.

An interesting feature of the 68060 is the ability to execute simple instructions in the address generation unit ( AGU ) and thereby supply the result two cycles before the ALU.

This desire, I went on, growing voluble as my conviction was aroused, had mounted at such a rate recently that I now found its realization necessary not only to my physical but also to my spiritual wellbeing.

It was certain now that Jess was in the house, but also, presumably, was Stacey Black.

But it also made him conspicuous to the enemy, if it was the enemy, and he hadn't been spotted already.

He was asking had it been she who left the love note in his sheets ( she also served as maid ) when he saw the Grafin followed by a stately blond girl approaching his table.

This was also a corpse -- a male, judging from the coral arm bands, the tribal scars still discernible on the maggoty face, the painted bone of the warrior caste which still pierced the septum of the rotting nose.

His superiors had also preached this, saying it was the way for eternal honor.

Charles, also fifteen, was tall and skinny, scraggly, with straight black hair like an Indian's and sharp brown eyes.

Although New Orleans was not to learn of it for a spell, she also was a sadist, a nymphomaniac and unobtrusively mad -- the perpetrator of some of the worst crimes against humanity ever committed on American soil.

There was also a dog, a dingo dog.

There was also a long wooden spear and a woomera, a spear-throwing device which gives the spear an enormous velocity and high accuracy.

There was also a boomerang, elaborately carved.

It was also subtly familiar, for it was the odor of the human body, but multiplied innumerable times because of the fact that the aborigines never bathed.

It was to provide a safe and spacious crossing for these caravans, and also to make a pleasance for the city, that Shah Abbas 2, in about 1657 built, of sun-baked brick, tile, and stone, the present bridge.

There was also a lesson, one that has served ever since to keep Americans, in their conflicts with one another, from turning from the ballot to the bullet.

Joseph Jastrow, the younger son of the distinguished rabbi, Marcus Jastrow, was a friendly, round-faced fellow with a little mustache, whose field was psychology, and who was also a punster and a jolly tease.

And just as `` Laurie '' Lawrence was first attracted to bright Jo March, who found him immature by her high standards, and then had to content himself with her younger sister Amy, so Joe Jastrow, who had also been writing Henrietta before he came to Johns Hopkins, had to content himself with her younger sister, pretty Rachel.

she also went to Washington and appealed to Senator George William Norris of Nebraska, the Fighting Liberal, from whose office a sympathetic but cautious harrumphing was heard.

The Indians who came aboard ship to collect the mail also interested her greatly, even if she was suitably shocked, according to the customs of the society in which she had been reared, to find them `` naked, except a piece of cotton cloth wrapped around their middle ''.

He also disliked Runyon, for no good reason other than the fact that the Demon's talent was so marked as to put him well beyond the Hetman's say-so or his supervision.
