Motorola 68080

The Motorola 68080 would have been the fifth generation of M68k processors.

The 4th generation 68060 shared most of the features of the Intel P5 architecture of x86. Should Motorola have decided to stick with the 680x0 series it is very likely that the next processor (68080) would have resembled Intel's P6 architecture.

The 68060 was the last development of the 680x0 series for general purpose use, abandoned in favour of the PowerPC chips. It saw use in some late-model Amiga machines, but Apple Computer and the Unix world had moved onto various RISC platforms.
