The NEC V60 (μPD70616) was a CISC processor manufactured by NEC starting in 1986. The V60 was the first 32-bit general-purpose microprocessor commercially available in Japan.A relatively obscure design in the West, it was a radical departure from NEC's previous V-series CPUs—the NEC V20-V50 series—, which were based on the Intel x86 model, although it retained the ability to emulate them.
