- 6800 — The Motorola 6800 was an eight-bit parallel microprocessor with an 8-bit data width and a 16-bit address bus, capable of accessing up to 65,536 bytes of memory.
- 68000 — Motorola 68000 — 16/32-bit CISC microprocessor, 68,000 transistors, launched 1979. The chip behind the Macintosh, Amiga, and Lisa.
- 68008 (1982–1996) — Motorola 68008 (1982–1996): the 68000's 8-bit-bus sibling — 32-bit registers, 1MB address space, 8/10 MHz, ~70,000 transistors.
- 68020 (1984) — Motorola 68020 (1984): the first fully 32-bit 680x0 — 200,000 transistors, 114-pin ceramic, $487 at launch, 4 GB address space.
- 68040 — Unlike earlier 680x0 processors, the 68040 eliminated on-chip data duplication for misaligned transfers, a feature present in the 68020 and 68030, requiring software to…
- 6809 — The 6809 emerged from Motorola's effort to refine the 6800 architecture into a more capable processor, described in early reports as an 'evolutionary design improvement…
- 6809E — Unlike the base MC6809, the 6809E lacked an on-chip clock generator, requiring external circuitry to drive its timing.
