Definition: 88000


A family of 32-bit RISC microprocessors from Motorola. The 88100 was the first processor in the 88000 family. Introduced in 1988, it incorporates four built-in execution units that allow up to five operations to be performed in parallel. Although the 88000 processors are very sophisticated chips, they never took off in the marketplace. See 88Open.
