[comp.os.cpm] Z-280 CPU

I am planning to upgrade my homebrew Z-80 CP/M system
with a new Z-280 CPU and memory.  I am wondering:

Does anyone know any hobbyist-oriented chip retailers (JDR Microdevices,
etc.) that carry it?  I assume I can get from distributors like
Hamilton-Avnet, but they make it difficult if your'e not a corporate account.

Has anyone seen performance benchmarks for this chip?  I am especially
interested in the performance improvment given by the cache and burst
reads, and in tradeoff of processor vs. bus clock rate.
