The 68000 was the successor to the 6800 and had better memory segmentation and a 32-bit register divided into eight data and address registers.

The 68000 gave rise to a processor series called 680x0, which included the 68010, 68020, 68030, 68040 and 68060 microprocessors. The 68000s introduced the virtual memory, a level 1 cache was integrated, as well as a memory manager( MMU) and the floating point unit( FPU).
