  1. ๐Ÿคฏ Behold! A "90-minute guide" to modern #microprocessors that's longer than most people's #attention spans. It's a PhD appendix masquerading as a literary masterpiece, revered by university courses because apparently, they ran out of actual textbooks ๐Ÿ“š. Silicon Valley #startups love itโ€”proof that even #tech billionaires can be duped by anything with a million clicks! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

  6. Where are they all going? Back to the regular, symmetrical architecture of their minicomputer roots. The longevity of DEC's PDP-11 architecture is no accident-it's due to the machine's lean, no-nonsense architecture and lots of support. The 8080 microprocessor is so familiar to so many that it too will never die.

  11. ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿค– Matt Godbolt's blog post is basically a glorified diary entry about how he discovered xor's magic in x86 assembly, as if he just found out the sky is blue. ๐ŸŽ‰ Shockingly, he didn't stop there and took us on a nostalgic trip back to his 6502 days, because nothing says "I'm interesting" like reminiscing about the golden age of #microprocessors. ๐Ÿ™„

  19. Guess who's about to discover that #microprocessors (and other chips, of course) are in ... well, virtually everything these days?

    cnn.com/2025/08/06/tech/apple-

    100% tariff on imported chips will double manufacturers' costs for what is the most expensive component of many products. Cars have dozens-to-hundreds of MCUs in them now, and effectively none of them are made in the USA.

    Where's that Trump-pissing-into-a-fan meme when you need it...

  24. ๐Ÿง  Before RISC vs. CISC. Before ARM dominance. Before the cloud. There was the Bellmac 32.

    Now officially recognized as an IEEE Milestone, the Bellmac 32 helped define what 32-bit computing would become:

    ๐Ÿ’พ Built in 1977 by Bell Labs, it was one of the earliest 32-bit microprocessors

    ๐Ÿ” Introduced memory protection and supervisor/user modes โ€” setting the stage for modern OS security

    ๐ŸŒ Powered Unix systems, 5ESS telecom switches, and early internet infrastructure

    ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ A foundational workhorse, now honored for the impact it had behind the scenes

    It didnโ€™t make headlines like the 8086 or the 68000 โ€” but it should have. Hats off to the engineers who helped shape the future and are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
