68060 vs. 603PPC/040 (Opening a can of worms.)

[itix]

68060 is slow. Get BPPC and if you need computing power get MOS/OS4 too. With JIT 603e/160MHz emulates 68k faster than real 68060/50MHz.

If one uses AOS3.x on the machine, the 060 will be faster than 040+PPC in most cases.

If the target is 3.x only machine then 060 is probably fine. But if you have PPC you can simply do OS upgrade and have taste of better software. You can still use your 040 for retro gaming.

I have no experience about MOS. But ofcourse especially native MOS apps fly on it when comparing to 68k Amiga apps on 68k 040.

Emulated 68k apps run faster than real 060 ever could.

I wouldn`t consider MOS on classic hardware, as only the stoneage V0.4 of MOS is publically available for the classics.

That is true.

Another point of view is what was the best you used till now, if it was a sole 040 @ 25MHz or even a 030 you won`t feel the week 68k that much. If you ever had an 040 @ 40 MHz or more the 040/PPC will dissapoint you.

040 is lame CPU, but PPC gives more opportunities. You can get relatively cheap BVision there.
