#microprocessor — Public Fediverse posts

Yesterday I had the great pleasure to attend a documentary screening and panel session where Prof. #FredericoFaggin was the guest of honour. This was organised by the #Italian Luxembourg Chamber of Commmerce and introduced by the Italian Ambassador to #Luxembourg. #Faggin invented the #microprocessor and designed the #4004 #8008 #8080 #z80 and later on via #synaptics #touchscreens and #touchpads .He is a true #pioneer

ARM unveils first in‑house CPU with 136 cores.... starting with Meta.

Over 8,000 cores in an air-cooled rack... and over 45,000 in a liquid-cooled rack!

Took a wee trip down the #space #microprocessor rabbithole for this whole #AIDatacenter nonsense.
So state of the art microprocessor performance seems to be the BAE Systems RAD5545 SoC. It draws 35watts. It can do 3.6GFLOPS of compute performance. Everything is triple redundant & hardened.

A Samsung S26 ultra clocks in at 1000x the compute capability... that's running a state of the art 3nm process...

Space Karen is talking about a mythical 2nm orbital class chip process...
It's a Scam!

Israel just committed a crime against computer history. By destroying the last F14's they effectively destroyed the first microprocessor ever made. Its like when the Soviets demolished Königsberg Castle.

Rusya'nın işlemci konudaki birikimi çok yüksektir.

Batı bile bunları yazarken şu anda kullandığım bilgisayarda hâlâ takılı olan G4400 İntel Pentium işlemcilere de adını veren Rus mühendis "Vladimir Pentkovski" sâyesinde bu ileri işlemci teknolojisine geçebilmişti!

Onun adını onurlandırmak için işlemciye "Pentium" dendiği yazıyor!

I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I once owned a quite extensive list of "unintended" opcodes in then popular microprocessors like the 6502 or the Z80, but somehow lost it after having finished university and moved on to later technologies. 😭

So, at some time between the end of the 80s and now, my virtual cat or imagined dog must have eaten it. 😉

May be you can still find that stuff on the interwebs, hidden somewhere in between all that AI slop. Wikipedia might help you.

To give you a hint from ancient memories: The Z80 could architecturally access its registers in both 8 bit and 16 bit chunks - except for the IX and IY ones. Documented as index registers like the well-known HL one (i.e. concatenated H and L), they were portrayed as non-splittable. But they were as people found out, giving you more independently manipulatable registers for situations where you could take advantage of that capability. The IX/IY prefixes were functional pretty much everywhere. Later implementations of the Z80 architecture may have lost that undocumented capability.

`We have published several retrospectives highlighting Intel’s 4004, and it was indeed pivotal to the development of the PC and the industry that holds many of us in thrall to this day. However, there’s an alternative future where the MP944 wasn’t kept secret for over a quarter-century, and one wonders what the shape of the computer industry would be in that case.`
