why not ask freescale just to... scale a 68040 into new integration technology and just implement more L1 and L2 ?
Wouldn't it be just the most compatible solution?
smaller photomaster is the way to go.
New technologies woud allow the raw 400 MHz out of the processor just by scaling the design and reducing operating voltage and will have a totally analog performance ratio.
They won't do it because there is no market for such a product that is large enough to cover development costs and fab time.
