## CPU Feature Matrix
| CPU | Bus | Address | I-Cache | D-Cache | MMU | FPU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 68000 | 16-bit | 24-bit | — | — | — | External 68881 |
| 68020 | 32-bit | 32-bit | 256 B direct | — | External 68851 | External 68881/2 |
| 68030 | 32-bit | 32-bit | 256 B | 256 B | On-chip | External 68882 |
| 68040 | 32-bit | 32-bit | 4 KB 4-way | 4 KB 4-way | On-chip | On-chip (partial) |

> [!NOTE]
> 68040 and 68060 have on-chip FPUs that omit transcendental instructions. AmigaOS provides `68040.library` and `68060.library` to trap the missing opcodes via Line-F emulation.
