Message-ID: <172@ihopa.UUCP> Date: Wed, 7-Mar-84 09:16:19 EST Article-I.D.: ihopa.172 Posted: Wed Mar 7 09:16:19 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 8-Mar-84 07:39:11 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 26 There has been a lot of talk lately about the 68020. I understand that it is suppose to be a "complete" 32-bit implementation with many new insturctions. Also it is suppose to have an automatic coprocessor interface and an on-chip instruction cache. Could somebody please post a detailed description inlcuding the following: 1. How many bits is the data bus? 2. How many bits is the address bus? 3. Can the ALU handle 32-bit operands? 4. How will it be packaged? 5. What will its maximum clock speed be? 6. When will it be available? 7. Any other important facts. Thanks for reading. Joe P. Wro.
