[c0pperdragon] set himself the task of designing a very capable 8-bit CPU using just 74HC type logic chips on a large plug-in breadboard. To emphasize the “bread” theme, he put the whole thing ...

The 8-Bit Guy is building his dream computer, heavily inspired by the Commodore 64. Before we go into what this computer will do and what capabilities it will have, it’s important to note the 8 ...

H8/300 is a high speed 8-bit CPU with an internal 16-bit architecture. H8/300 CPU IP is compatible with H8S CPU subsystem IP (H8S C200) on system, bus and interrupt interface. So, it can be used in ...

Synchronous processors which consume more than 40 % of power in clock circuitry are being conveniently replaced by low power delay-insensitive (DI) asynchronous Processor modules/cores. In this paper, ...

Designed in the 1970s by electrical engineer Chuck Peddle and his team for MOS Technology, the 8-bit MOS 6502 ran at 1-2 MHz and packed 3,510 transistors. As the most affordable chip of its kind ...

the 8088 only had an 8-bit data bus. This small difference would be the key to the wider use of the 8088 later. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the personal computer industry was just starting.

Connected to a control unit, the ALU slices were strung together to make larger processors (8-bit, 16-bit, etc.). They included inputs and outputs for borrow and carry bits (addition and ...

In 2003, AMD debuted the Opteron, its first 64-bit CPU, which was later renamed Athlon 64. Phenom processors came out in 2008. In 2017, AMD began shipping its Ryzen line based on a new Zen ...

The Apple Macintosh debuts in 1984. It features a simple, graphical interface, uses the 8-MHz, 32-bit Motorola 68000 CPU, and has a built-in 9-inch B/W screen.
