-
- Take a look at Motorola's web page. Their new 5630x series sounds really
- fantastic!
-
- - Software compatible with the 5600x processors
- - real instruction cache
- - 24 bit addressing
- - barrel shifter
- - 120 Mbyte/s DMA
- - single-cycle operation, that is 80MIPS at 80MHz!
-
- Motorola themselves claim this to be the world's fastest general purpose DSP.
-
- Now wouldn't _that_ chip be nice to have in the Falcon, Doug? ;-)

- I know.

-
- The 5630x is supposed to have some new features to be nicer towards C
- compilers, such as PC relative branching and unlimited stack.
-
- > Yepp, I know but it looks like the 56001 is an expert on soundprocessing.
-
- Well, 24 bit fixed point is pretty good for that and there are versions
- with built in sound hardware.
-
- I must say it was very nice to use for image processing, though. :-)
