Typically when you’re replacing parts in an old computer it’s either for repairs or an upgrade. Upgrades like adding a more capable processor to an old computer are the most common, and can help bring ...

Seiko Epson has announced that it has developed the world's first flexible 8-bit asynchronous microprocessor using low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors (LTPS-TFTs) on a plastic substrate.

The year Intel rolled out its first 8-bit microprocessor, Apollo 17 landed on the Moon. The Volkswagen Beetle became the best-selling car in history, surpassing the Ford Model T. And “The Godfather” ...

Renesas Technology Corp. today announced the release of the M37544G2A, an 8-bit microprocessor that incorporates QzROM (Renesas Technology name) in the 7544 Group. The use of on-chip QzROM, a newly ...

Living within an 8-bit on-chip data-addressing budget, Intel designers overlapped data address spaces. The lower 128 bytes of RAM hold the registers, a bit-operation area, and RAM. These lower bytes ...

New research paper titled “FlexiCores: low footprint, high yield, field reprogrammable flexible microprocessors” from researchers at University of Illinois and PragmatIC Semiconductor. “Flexible ...

The 1970s was the start of the 8-bit microprocessor and microcontroller revolution. It started with the 4-bit Intel 4004, but it was really the 8-bit Intel 8080 and the Zilog Z80 that made the ...

If you’ve read through the comments on Hackaday, you’ve doubtless felt the fires of one of our classic flame-wars. Any project done with a 32-bit chip could have been done on something smaller and ...

Epson has developed what is believed to be the world's first fully operational flexible 8-bit asynchronous microprocessor using low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors (LTPS-TFTs) on a ...
