   As far as I know, Motorolla doesn't even have 25Mhz 68040's in any kind of
   mass production to meet market demands, why would they have an 50Mhz 68040 in
   any kind of mass production?

According to MacWeek(6-04-91 pg. 5), Motorola shipped 50,000 68040's
in the first quarter.  The 33MHz version will be available in the 3rd
quarter(going from a 25MHz to a 33MHz 040 is like adding 1 Amiga
blitter to your computer).  The 50MHz 040 is due in 1Q 92.  The
article also says that the 68050 will be available sometime next year.
It will double the performance of the 040 at the same clock speed.
