Motorola was ahead in the beginning with a better architecture and more performance, but didn't have as much money as Intel had from PC clones to pour into improving it and eventually fell behind Intel in performance. IBM wanted to use the Motorola 68000 in the IBM PC but didn't because the support chips for the 68000 weren't ready yet and they didn't want to wait a year.
