The Freescale ColdFire is a 68k architecture microprocessor manufactured for embedded systems development by Freescale Semiconductor (formerly the semiconductor sector of Motorola). The Motorola 680x0/0x0/m68k/68k/68K family of CISC microprocessor CPU chips were 32-bit from the start, and were the primary competition for the Intel x86 family of chips. ...

The ColdFire instruction set is "assembly source" compatible (by means of translation software available from the vendor) and not entirely object code compatible with the 68000. When compared to classic 68k hardware, the instruction set differs mainly in that it no longer has support for the Binary Coded Decimal, or BCD packed data format; it removes a number of other, less used instructions; and most instructions that are kept support fewer addressing modes. Presumably this results in a simpler and lower cost instruction decoder. Also, floating point intermediates are 64 bits and not 80 bits as in the 68881 and 68882. The Motorola 68000 is a CISC microprocessor, the first member of a successful family of microprocessors from Motorola, which were all mostly software compatible. ...

The Motorola 68881 was a floating-point coprocessor chip that was utilized in some computer systems that used the 68020 or 68030 CPU. The addition of the 68881 chip added substantial cost to the computer, but added a floating point unit that could rapidly perform floating point math calculations. ...

Newer models of ColdFire are compatible enough with 68k processors that it is now possible to create binary compatible Amiga clones. The Debian project is currently working on making its m68k port compatible with the ColdFires, as there are ColdFires models that are much faster than the 68060 (they can be clocked as high as 266MHz, compared to the 60MHz you can get from a 68060 without overclocking), the fastest "real" m68k processor.
