  Motorola 68040 family
Motorola 68040 is the next generation of 68020/68030 32-bit microprocessors.
Major new features of the 68040 are bigger code and data caches (4 KB each) and integrated Floating Point Unit.
Some internal logic of the Motorola 68040 uses 2x clock frequency, but the processor cannot be considered as double-clocked.

  Motorola 68040 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Motorola 68040 is a microprocessor from Motorola, released in 1990.
The 68040 is the first 680x0 family member with an on-chip FPU (floating point unit).
The FPU in the 68040 was thus made incapable of IEEE transcendental functions, which had been supported by both the 68881 and 68882 and were used by the popular fractal generating software of the time and little else.

 68040 Microprocessor
The 68040 provides many of the benefits of the fastest RISC microprocessors while also providing the software compatibility that complex instruction set computing (CISC) microprocessors are known for.
The 68040 is a smooth continuation of the 68000 family, with many new features that contribute to its increased processing power: an integer unit, a floating-point unit (FPU), built-in instruction and data caches (4 KB each), two memory-management units (MMUs), and a bus interface unit.
Copyback allows the 68040 to hold modified data in the cache until the line needs to be replaced, at which time the data is written to memory.

The 68040 ships with an initial clock speed of 25MHz; higher speeds are to be available in the future, Motorola says.
Fine-Tuned for Performance The 68040 was built on the firm foundation of its predecessors.
Preliminary results have a 68040 weighing in at 20 million instructions per second versus the SPARC's 18 MIPS and the 80486's 15 MIPS, all clocked at 25MHz.

Maintaining 32-bit widths on both the address and data bus as well as a bursting protocol for cacheable memory, the 68060 supports transfers of one, two, four, or 16 bytes in a given bus cycle.
The 68060 relies on a deep internal pipeline and a superscalar internal architecture coupled with 8 Kbyte instruction and data caches, a 256-entry branch cache, on-chip MMUs and an on-chip FPU to bring new levels of performance to the M68000 Family architecture.
Designs compatible with existing and future 68040 systems are simple, and higher frequency designs are possible using a new bus interface protocol.

 Dr. Dobb's | 68040 Programming | July 22, 2001
The newest member of the 68000 family, the 68040, essentially combines a beefed-up 68030 and the low-level functions of the 68881 floating-point coprocessor onto the same chip.
This problem is called "cache coherency." The 68040 takes care of this problem with "bus snooping" -- the chip looks at the system bus, and when a write memory cycle is detected, any on-chip cache location containing data for the changed location is marked invalid.
On the 68040, the only floating-point operations supported are absolute value, add, branch on condition, compare, decrement and branch conditionally, divide, move, move multiple, multiply, negate, nop, restore internal state, save internal state, set on condition, square root, subtract, trap on condition, and test.

 The Smaky 400 Home Page
The Smaky 400 is a PCI board based on a Motorola 68040 microprocessor, a 68360 Quad Integrated Communications Controller (QUICC) and a QSpan PCI bridge, the CA91C860 (see picture) developed by Tundra, formerly Newbridge, and manufactured in Motorola's fabs.
The 68360 operates in slave mode (not in companion mode) and works as a standard 68040 bus master; this is required since the QSpan does not fully comply to the 68040 arbitration scheme.
The Smaky 400 clock is derived from an on-board oscillator, using a PLL to distribute it point to point to the QSpan, to the QUICC and to the 68040.

 68LC040 -> 68040 upgrade | Applefritter
For example, I have Norton Utilities 1.1 installed on this machine, but if I try running it, it bombs out with a system error, stating that "a floating point co-processor is not installed", which, with the new processor is patently untrue.
There is a slight gap between the CPU and socket, through which I can catch a glimpse of all the gold pins, but it won't push down any further - at least not with the amount of force I feel comfortable using.
On a different note, my 68040 processor did not come with a fan or heatsink, though there were some smears of heat-conducting paste on it that show one was once present.

 Motorola 68040 - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
El 68040 también fue empleado en otros ordenadores personales como el Commodore Amiga 4000, al igual que en algunas estaciones de trabajo y en las últimas versiones de los ordenadores NeXT.
El 68040 es el primer miembro de la familia 68000 con una FPU incluida en el chip.
La FPU del 68040 vio eliminada su capacidad para realizar funciones trascendentes del IEEE, las cuales son soportadas tanto por el 68881 como por el 68882, siendo usadas en programas populares de generación de fractales y poco más.

It uses the "full" 68040 chip, not the slower "EC" version, running at an overclocked 28Mhz, with an FPU and 2 MMUs on the chip.
The biggest is the 68040 which comes with a large heat sink to dissipate heat.
They were offering a substantial saving at the time, and their 68040 board was $600 cheaper than GVP's 50Mhz 68030 board (on the mail order market).

Due to the extremely fast implementation of the FPU instructions which are provided in hardware, in all cases the software emulation on a 28MHz 68040 exceeds the performance of the same instruction in hardware on a 33MHz 68882.
In a 25MHz machine, the 68040 part of the accelerator can be turned off from software with a warm boot, leaving the expansion memory available, and powerup in 68030 or 68040 mode can be selected with a jumper.
The 68030 one is largely compatible with the old 68851, but the 68040 one is quite different.

I want to know the speed comparison between the fastest quadra 68040's and the early power mac 601's.
Although only running at 33mhz, I heard the 68040 was faster clock for clock than the 601 and was in some cases faster than it at very low mhz(like 50 or 60mhz).
And a 68040 is plenty able to decode and play MP3s, but nobody bothered writing a player.

 2.4.8 segfaults on 68040   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
I did try it on my 68060 BVME6000 with the kernel configured to use only 8Mb of the available 48Mb of RAM, the same amount of memory as the failing MVME167 and could not reproduce the problem.
Since then I have updated my 68060 system with the latest Debian libc6-2.2.4 package and now it refuses to boot any 2.4 kernel, so unfortunately I can't retry this test until the libc6 package is fixed, perhaps I'll downgrade instead of waiting.
Interestingly though, upgrading the libc6-2.2.4 package under the 2.4 kernel repeatedly failed with a SEGFAULT and I ended up installing it running a 2.2.19 kernel, so perhaps the fault is not specific to the 68040 after all.
