I think you made a typo and meant 6800. Too late to edit though.
I make this typo too because the 68k was such a significant chip in history.
- Aloha 3y agoNo, I meant 68000 - what I'm trying to say is that while the 68000 is a significantly more elegant microarchitecture, had more functionality - and it did get to better performance faster, its not really any better in performance when judged on a clock for clock basis to the 8086.
