The '''68030''' is a 32-bit [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor microprocessor] by [[Motorola]], released in 1987 as successor of the [[68020]]. It features on-chip instruction and data caches of 256 bytes each as well as an on-chip [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management_unit MMU]. Available clock frequencies were 16, 20, 25, 33, 40, and 50 MHz. It has a three-stage pipeline, and an internal [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_architecture Harvard architecture] with physically separate storage and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_%28computing%29 buses] for instructions and [[Data|data]]. Like other [[68000]] family processors, the 68030 is a [[Big-endian]] machine.

The 68030 was used in models of the Apple [[Macintosh|Macintosh II]] <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Macintosh_models_grouped_by_CPU_type#Motorola_68030 List of Macintosh models grouped by CPU type - 68030 from Wikipedia]</ref> and [[Amiga|Commodore Amiga]] personal computers, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTcube NeXT Cube], and [[Sun Microsystems]] [[Sun#3|Sun-3/80]] workstations <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68030 Motorola 68030 from Wikipedia]</ref>.
=Dedicated Chess Computers=
The 68030 processor was used in several [[Dedicated Chess Computers|dedicated chess computers]] of the late 80s and early 90s, most notably in various top models of [[Fidelity Electronics]], namely [[Chess Challenger]], [[Elite]] and the experimental [[Fidelity|Fidelity X]] <ref>[http://www.computerhistory.org/chess/full_record.php?iid=stl-431f4cc194e20 Fidelity X chess computer at the 6th World Chess Championship in Edmonton, Alberta], [[The Computer History Museum]]</ref> with programs by [[Dan Spracklen|Dan]] and [[Kathe Spracklen]], and [[Hegener & Glaser|Hegener & Glaser's]] [[Mephisto]] brand with programs by [[Richard Lang]], beside others the winning computers of the [[WMCCC 1989]] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portoro%C5%BE Portorož] <ref>[http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Mephisto_TM_Portorose Mephisto TM Portorose] from [http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Hauptseite_En Schachcomputer.info - Wiki] (German)</ref>, the [[WMCCC 1990]] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyon Lyon] <ref>[http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Mephisto_TM_Lyon Mephisto TM Lyon] from [http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Hauptseite_En Schachcomputer.info - Wiki] (German) </ref>, and [[WMCCC 1991]] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver Vancouver] (winner of the commercial group by default) <ref>[http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Mephisto_TM_Vancouver Mephisto TM Vancouver] from [http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Hauptseite_En Schachcomputer.info - Wiki] (German)</ref>.
