Freescale (Motorola's chip division) has launched the 90nm G4, and is planning a dual core version for next year. The chip is faster -- over 1.5GHz -- and cooler than the old chip, but it is also pin compatible.

"7447A...But it would need next generation Artica northbridge (=better heat tolerance and 166Mhz FSB) to be usefull."
I think it would give decent performance boost even with ArtisiaS.
The fastest A1 to date has been 1.4Ghz (cooling being the hardest part, currently it's used underclocked to 1Ghz, IIRC).
For microscopic small Amiga applications the 2x size L2 cache plays a lot bigger role than 33Mhz improvement of FSB clock. |
