Both use the SPARC v8 instruction set, the TurboSPARC is more or less a tur=
bocharged MicroSPARC II with L2 cache :)
The main difference is that the SuperSPARC is superscalar while the MicroSP=
ARCs aren't as far as I remember, so -mcpu-supersparc may schedule instruct=
ions in a way that's not optimal for MicroSPARCs - better use -mcpu=3Dv8 he=

have fun
