The current '030s are in 16.67Mhz and 20Mhz versions.  I think Moto has
announced 25Mhz planned before the end of the year, and I for one would
certainly like to see a 30Mhz version some day.

On the other hand, for the same speed clock, the 68030 can run memory cycles
over twice the speed of the 68020/68851 combination....
