I am reading a test in BYTE May 1986. They are comparing 68010, 68000 and 8088 with VAX 11/780.
Real time for sieve of Erathostenes in compiled C:
Vax 11/780 .............1.7
AT&T 68010............2.4
PCXT 8088..............8.2
TRS80-16B 68000..6.0
Multitasking (1 and 6 processes)
Vax 11/780 .............4.3..........13.8
AT&T 68010.............6.3..........29.8
PCXT 8088.............10.6........130.7
TRS80-16B 68000..20.0.........99.3
So why is 68010 so much better than 68000?
Why is VAX so much better on mulitasking?
Much more RAM could be one reason:
VAX...... 4 MB
68010 ..1 MB
8088.....512kB
68000..384kB
VAX 11/780 used 8kB cache
Anything else?
