A
RISC processor created by
Motorola. I would see it as a successor to the
68000. Although, they differ in design and programming model.
The 88000 wasn't as succesful, this becasue Motorola dropped it in favour of the
PowerPC alliance. Together with
IBM and
Apple, Motorola created the PowerPC line of processor. This chip was based on IBM's
POWER design and the
I/O part was based on the 88000's architecture.
Also known as the
M88000 or
MC88000
