Well, in the raw form in a chip tester.  But, if you plugged a 8MHz 68000
into a Mac and a 4MHz 65816 into a GS, you would get the GS going faster
because of the slow bus synchronization in Mac.  4 cycles to fetch a word,
for 8 a longword.. come on!  The 65816 in a GS can fetch in 2/4 cycle time
(ignoring code fetching, decoding, execution time) ..
