Well, however far that is, it appears to be at least as far as SPARC
(using the same process).  I have seen several claims lately that the new
68040 can outperform SPARC machines running at the same clock speeds.
This of course is not authoritative, since the benchmarks haven't
been released.  However, I think it is premature to announce the
death of the 680X0 family.
