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.

Possibly not in this case, the 8641D can run an OS per core so you could have 2 Amiga-like OSs running simultaneously, you use one and crunch RC5s with the other.
Hmm, I wonder, if you ran OS4 and MorphOS on the same chip would it go up in flames?
