Believe me, they did not reverse engineer and re-create a 68060. The documentation is extremely limited on how exactly the 68060 works.

Plus there is no market for volume 68060 chips.


Exactly, there is no market for volume. It wouldn't make sense. China is the leading recycler of electronics (not in a green way either). It only makes sense to resell any parts of value. A couple dozen 68060 pulls here and there eagerly gobbled up by Amigans and Atarians will make a little money. Reverse engineering and producing clones would never make back development costs.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!
