Zilog Z280 An enhanced version of the {Zilog Z80} with a 16 bit architecture, introduced in July, 1987. It added an {MMU} to expand addressing to 16Mb, features for {multitasking}, a 256 byte {cache}, and a huge number of new {op codes} (giving a total of over 2000!). Its internal clock runs at 2 or 4 times the external clock (e.g. a 16MHz CPU with a 4MHz bus). (1994-10-31)
