MC68EC060RC50 vs. MC68040RC25

[Bandaren]

I'm wondering about how a MC68EC060 would perform in a amiga.

What would happen with programs that requires a FPU? Would a 68040 with a FPU beat the 68060 here?.

Is it possible to emulate the 68040 FPU with a 68EC060?

Please bring on your ideas and thoughts! Perhaps someone have numbers and benchmarks? :-P

Well my primary concern would be what programs I actually could use with a 68EC060.

When you look at various programs enhanced for 68060 one would expect they are made to take advantage of the FPU.

So what would that leave me? I would have to use 68000/68020/68030 without FPU versions? In this camparison I see no reason to "upgrade" from a 68040 with FPU, it would be a downgrade.

I know there are Apollo 1260's out there with 68EC060 75Mhz how do they solve this problem?
