Editing CPU cache (section)

====In 68k microprocessors====
The [[68010]], released in 1982, has a "loop mode" which can be considered a tiny and special-case instruction cache that accelerates loops that consist of only two instructions. The [[68020]], released in 1984, replaced that with a typical instruction cache of 256 bytes, being the first 68k series processor to feature true on-chip cache memory.

The [[68030]], released in 1987, is basically a 68020 core with an additional 256-byte data cache, an on-chip [[memory management unit]] (MMU), a process shrink, and added burst mode for the caches.

The [[Motorola 68040|68040]], released in 1990, has split instruction and data caches of four kilobytes each.

The [[68060]], released in 1994, has the following: 8&nbsp;KiB data cache (four-way associative), 8&nbsp;KiB instruction cache (four-way associative), 96-byte FIFO instruction buffer, 256-entry branch cache, and 64-entry address translation cache MMU buffer (four-way associative).
