We mean building something closer to a fully-programmable 8-bit computer from the ground up, like this one from [Federico] based on 74LS logic chips. The computer was designed and built from ...

really — using discrete logic chips to scratch-build a computer that would probably compare unfavorably to an 80s era 8-bit machine in terms of performance. And yet they still forge ahead with ...

The M8051EW offers a complete, high performance 8051 core and developmentkit, based around Mentor Graphics’s highly successful M8051W implementation of this popular 8-bit microcontroller. While the ...

Alongside AMD, Intel dominates a market that many argue it first cornered 45 years ago with the launch of its 8088 Micro-processor ... 16-bit internal architecture but mated with an 8-bit data ...
