Motorola MC68020 Microprocessor Keychain (1984)
Sold
The Motorola 68020 is a 32-bit Microprocessor from Motorola, released in 1984. It was the successor to the Motorola 68010 and was succeeded by the Motorola 68030 Microprocessor.
The 68020 was used in the Apple Macintosh II and Macintosh LC Models of personal computers, as well as in the Sun Alpha Microsystems AM-2000. The Commodore Amiga 1200 computer and the Amiga CD32 games console used the cost-reduced 68EC020. It is also the processor used on board TGV trains to decode signaling information which is sent to the trains through the rails.
The 68020 was used in military applications for the flight control systems of the Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft. Other applications included uses in PC workstations and in the Hewlett Packard 8711 Series Network Analyzers.

Motorola / IBM PowerPC 601 CPU First Silicon (1992)
Sold
In October 1991 At the Microprocessor Forum, IBM and Motorola outline a four year road map of PowerPC processors, starting with a low-cost desktop processor, and culminating in a high performance processor for servers and workstations. A month later IBM announced the PowerPC 601 microprocessor. Exactly one year later At the 1992 Microprocessor Forum, IBM and Motorola formally announce the beginning of production of PowerPC 601 microprocessors, in 50 MHz and 66 MHz versions.
PowerPC (short for "Power Performance Chip") incorporated an integer unit, a floating-point unit, and 32 MB cache. IBM manufactured the processor using 0.6-micron CMOS technology, with 2.8 million transistors per chip.
Apple computer first used the PowerPC 601 CPU in it's Apple Power Macintosh in March 14, 1994.

The IBM PowerPC 601 chip was the first version of a RISC processor developed jointly between IBM Microelectronics and Motorola. The PowerPC 601 was the first generation of microprocessors to support the basic 32-bit PowerPC instruction set. The 601 processor ran at speeds of 55-80Mhz. IBM was the sole manufacturer of the 601 microprocessors in its Burlington, Vermont and East Fishkill, New York production facilities. The 601 was manufactured using IBM's CMOS-4s process.
First launched in IBM systems in the fall of 1993, it was marketed by IBM as the PPC601 and by Motorola as the MPC601. It operated at speeds ranging from 50 to 80 MHz. It was fabricated using a 0.6 µm CMOS process with four levels of aluminum interconnect. The die was 121 mm² large and contained 2.8 million transistors.
The 601 has a 32 kB unified L1 cache, a capacity that was considered large at the time for an on-chip cache. Thanks partly to the large cache it was considered a high performance processor in its segment, outperforming the competing Intel Pentium processor. The PowerPC 601 was used in the first Power Macintosh computers from Apple, and in a variety of RS/6000 workstations and SMP servers from IBM and Groupe Bull.

The PowerPC 604 chip was a super-scalar RISC processor developed jointly between IBM Microelectronics and Motorola. These processors were targeted for general-purpose desktop computing and were used in the Apple Power Macintosh line of personal computers and in Mac clones. An AIM (Apple / IBM / Motorola) designed processor, the major design contributor was IBM. Apple contributed some of it's circuity design ingenuity and specifications, Motorola contributed it's vector engine (AltiVec, which Apple calls Velocity Engine). The processor was mostly a spin-off of IBM's multi-chip Power 4 architecture.
The PowerPC 604 was introduced in December 1994 alongside the 603 and was designed as a high-performance chip for workstations and entry-level servers and as such had support for symmetric multiprocessing in hardware. The 604 was used extensively in Apple's high-end systems and was also used in Macintosh clones, IBM's low-end RS/6000 servers and workstations, Amiga computer video accelerator boards, and as an embedded CPU for telecom applications.
The 604 was a superscalar processor capable of issuing four instructions simultaneously. The PowerPC 604 contained 3.6 million transistors and was fabricated by IBM and Motorola with a 0.5 µm CMOS process. The die measured 12.4 mm by 15.8 mm. It operated at speeds between 100 and 180 MHz.
