- CPU
-
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- At the heart of every Amiga is the CPU or `Central Processor Unit'.
- This is the chip which could be described as the Amigas brain. It
- is responsible for running the Operating System and any applications
- And keeps the rest of the computer going. The faster the CPU the
- faster the computer overall.
-
-
- NOTES:
- Amigas use the 68x range of Motorola processors which include the
- following:
- - 68000
- - 68020
- - 68030
- - 68040
- - 68060
-
- But recent developments in Accelerator cards have brought the PowerPC
- line of CPUs to the Amiga.
