They DON'T compare, because they follow two entirely different principles. Motorola utilizes memory-mapping, while Intel uses Isolated I/O. Each has various advantages and downfalls. When saying they don't compare, I surely hope you infer that they are nothing alike, and not that one is better than the other. The unfortunate thing is that most users can only see the advantages of memory-mapping, while Intel chips are appreciated most in the high end of the market.
