(pretty consistent)

Modern x86_64 processors are strong at this test. They did well in test results posted at the following link also.

Ouch!

The 68060 results are actually impressive. 32k elements is too big to fit in the DCache and is a poor size to choose when comparing the performance of older processors. A smaller number of elements were chosen for comparison in the results I linked above. The performance in the cache should scale linearly and different processors can be compared by looking at MB/s/MHz. My 68060@75MHz CSMKIII scored ~120 MB/s with outdated compilers and I achieved ~140 MB/s with assembler optimizations when the DCache could hold all the data.
ARM Cortex A4 0.30 MB/s/MHz
ColdFire v3 MCF5329 0.44 MB/s/MHz
Raspberry Pi ARM 1176JZF-S 0.652 MB/s/MHz
ARM Feroceon 88FR131 0.69 MB/s/MHz
IBM Power 6 0.69 MB/s/MHz
Intel Atom 0.84 MB/s/MHz
IBM Power 7 1.16 MB/s/MHz
AmigaOne X1000 PA6T-1682M 1.19 MB/s/MHz
PPC G4 7447 1.26 MB/s/MHz
68060 1.60 MB/s/MHz (1.87 MB/s/MHz with assembler optimizations)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.61 MB/s/MHz
Intel i7 3770 4.32 MB/s/MHz (or more if smaller element size helps)
A modern clocked 68060 with modern die size and modern cache sizes would likely outperform everything here except modern x86_64 processors in this single core benchmark. It should even be possible for performance to improve some with a modern die shrink (shorter timings for instructions and addressing modes). The Apollo core claims even better performance than the 68060. The claim at the link I posted would give 3.70 MB/s/MHz which would be faster than an Intel Core 2 Duo for this test and would be even more impressive. This is why I suggested MB/s/MHz and using a smaller element size for comparison but nobody ever listened to me
