I had always thought it was the 68k (G1) PPC (G2) and 750 (G3)
Generations of the Macintosh-series processor.
The 68k's and PPC's are entirely-- radically-- different processors, although you wouldn't know that just by looking at the surface of things. The 68k emulator in the Power Macs made the transition nearly seamless.
You could say the 68k's had their own series of generations: 68000, 68030, and 68040 (I think the '010 and '020 were skipped over). Apple started over with the PPC/Power Macs, so the generations started over as well.
The 68010 was used in servers I know. I have no idea if Apple ever used it at all, but my first Unix experience was on a 68010 machine. the 68020, of course, was used in the Macintosh II and later in the first generation LC. Friend of mine had an LC and I remember having to work around the 68020's lack of an FPU to play Tristan (Littlewing's first pinball game for the Mac, might have the name or spelling slightly wrong).
