If I got my info straight…
I the EC020 is 32-bit, but the "address" bus i s24-bit, instead of
32-bit. This limits it to 16-megs, like the 68000. It also lacks the
MMU support.
As for the A1200 being only twice as fast (5x with Instruct.cache), I
believe they are including shared access to the CHIP memory. The A1200
will be able to access CHIP memory twice the speed as the A500 & A2000.
Access to FAST memory will probably be faster.
