Um....if I am not mistaken......the fastest Amiga WinUAE can emulate is a 68040, and even thats not as slick.



JIT emulation of even the 68020/68881 combination on any half modern x86 simply murders *any* real 680x0 CPU in performance terms. Even my old K6-II 500MHz (and the old AMD systems were very badly implemented in terms of support chipsets etc) ran 680x0 code in UAE far faster than my real 68040 could ever conceive of.

Yet another classic hardware upgrade thread taken over by WinUAE talk....



The topic is about the fastest 680x0 amiga, UAE is a perfectly good 680x0 system that truly is faster than the real thing.

Don't get me wrong, there are no less than four 68040 powered amigas and a pair of PPC powered machines within 3 metres of me right now, but I *still* use UAE and use it a lot. Hell, you have to get some fun out of a PC if you are unlucky enough to have one.

The fastest hardware amiga 680x0 implementation right now is the CSPPC/68060 or CSMK3 68060 to the best of my knowledge.
