Some of the most interesting projects in computing are the "Just for fun," builds that individuals dream up. A year and a half ago, we met the Megaprocessor, a room-scale CPU implementation with each ...

LAPIS Semiconductor, a ROHM group company, offers an 8 bit low power micron controller with voice output function. Equipped with a 8-bit CPU nX-U8/100, the ML610Q380/383/384/385 is a high-performance ...

That is exactly what YouTube user Paulo Constantino did from the comfort of his own home in a video that was uploaded last June and is only now beginning to garner the attention it deserves.

Hi everyone! Have you heard of the brand new 8-bit computer built from (mostly) off-the-shelf parts called Commander X16 made by a team of people under The 8-Bit Guy (David Murray)? If so what are ...

Here’s the most amazing 8-bit DIY computer implemented using a bunch of simple logic chips — along with a cornucopia of flashing LEDs — mounted on a cluster of breadboards. I stand in awe. As I’ve ...

Homebrew 8-bit computers tend to have fairly limited displays, often one or more seven-segment displays and an array of LEDs to show the values of RAM or perhaps some other states of the computer.

Some projects are a rite of passage within their respected fields. For computer science, building one’s own computer from scratch is certainly among those projects. Of course, we’re not talking about ...

AMD has finally taken the wraps off its upcoming 8-core ARM SoC, codenamed Seattle. Seattle (officially designated Opteron A1100) is a server-class clip, with four or eight 64-bit ARM Cortex-A57 cores ...

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers. Nostalgic Atari fans can add the Atari 400 Mini to their collection for only $97.19 for a limited time. This is the lowest price yet for the ...

CPUs that process 64 bits as a single unit, compared to 8, 16 or 32. Today's desktop and laptop computers are mostly 64-bit machines; however, there are countless 32-bit, 16-bit and 8-bit ...
