Vintage NEW, Motorola MC68000L8 CPU GOLD TOP, PURPLE CERAMIC, NOS

The Motorola 68000 (sometimes shortened to Motorola 68k or m68k and usually pronounced "sixty-eight-thousand")is a 16/32-bit complex instruction set computer(CISC) microprocessor,introduced in 1979 by MotorolaSemiconductor Products Sector.

The design implements a 32-bit instruction set,with 32-bit registersand a 16-bit internal data bus.The address busis 24 bits and does not use memory segmentation,which made it easier to program for. Internally, it uses a 16-bitdata arithmetic logic unit(ALU) and two 16-bit arithmetic units used mostly for addresses,and has a 16-bit external data bus.For this reason, Motorola termed it a 16/32-bit processor.

As one of the first widely available processors with a 32-bit instruction set, large unsegmented address space, and relatively high speed for the era, the 68k was a popular design through the 1980s. It was widely used in a new generation of personal computers with graphical user interfaces, including the Macintosh 128K, Amiga, Atari St and X68000, as well as video game consoles such as the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive console. Several arcade game systems also used the 68000.
