The new Motorola Chip and Suns?

I just "heard' about the MC68040.  Unless someone is pulling my leg,it is
supposed to be a 1.2 Megatransistor  15 MIPS processor.

I assume that it will also have to run at high MHz to get that
performance.  Question is :

Will any of the present Suns based on the MC680xx chips be able to run at
those speeds...whatever that speed is???  What is the maximum speed that
the 680xx based Sun buses tolerate ?? Does anyone know??

Will these high speeds cause any problems with the CRT displays.

And one final question; Which Suns (if any) have graphics chips, i.e.
blitters, color registers etc.

Thank you all.
