What is the fastest write / read cycle on the 68030?
Posted by: Guy Madison on 2023-05-02 09:53:44
I was looking through the 68030 user manual and it talks about asynchronous cycles but I don't see any improvement over synchronous cycles, does anyone know what are the fastest achievable cycles for read burst / read / writes on a 68030? It looks to me that it takes at least 11 cycles for a burst read of 16 bytes on a cache read.

Thanks ahead of time.

Synchronous transfers are faster.

Burst reads are as fast as five cycles.

Reads and writes as fast as two.
