🤯 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 📚. Silicon Valley #startups love it—proof that even #tech billionaires can be duped by anything with a million clicks! 🙃

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.

💻🤖 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. 🎉 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. 🙄

Guess who's about to discover that #microprocessors (and other chips, of course) are in ... well, virtually everything these days?
https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/06/tech/apple-investment-us-trump
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.

🧠 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:
💾 Built in 1977 by Bell Labs, it was one of the earliest 32-bit microprocessors
🔐 Introduced memory protection and supervisor/user modes — setting the stage for modern OS security
🌐 Powered Unix systems, 5ESS telecom switches, and early internet infrastructure
🛠️ A foundational workhorse, now honored for the impact it had behind the scenes
It didn’t make headlines like the 8086 or the 68000 — but it should have. Hats off to the engineers who helped shape the future and are finally getting the recognition they deserve.

@viznut I appreciate the fast pacing, sync with audio and video, and the delicate illustrations of those rascals #DonaldTrump & #ElonMusk . At the same time, I love how #microprocessors don't age: decades old hardware can still fight problems of now, or at least raise a flashing pixel middle finger. #commodore64

🤔 Ah, the #nostalgia of cramming ancient silicon with non-existent commands! 🕵️♂️ Let's all gather 'round the microcode campfire and be regaled by tales of yore, where #microprocessors were so basic, they didn't know how to say "no." 😂 Remember kids, if it's undocumented, it's basically magic! ✨

Intel released a new CPU on March 22, 1993. Instead of a part number, it had a brand name. Calling it Pentium instead of 586 helped Intel's problem with clones. https://dfarq.homeip.net/what-came-after-486/ #CPUHistory #ComputerArchitecture #Innovation #TechThrowback #1990sTech #Microprocessors #RetroComputing

"Yes, you heard it right: Apache NuttX now supports the Python interpreter on ESP32-S3!
NuttX is a platform that can run applications built with programming languages other than traditional C. C++, Zig, Rust, Lua, BASIC, MicroPython, and, now, Python."

Has anyone had experience with one of these little logic analyzers? Are they... reasonably useful for basic, low-speed microprocessor I/O debugging? i'm looking to put together a lab kit for a microprocessors course at minimal cost to the students, so $300-400 for, e.g., an Analog Discovery 3 is quite steep an ask.

A very deep dive.
"This is the story of how Apple made a mistake in the ROM of the Macintosh Classic II that probably should have prevented it from booting, but instead, miraculously, its Motorola MC68030 CPU accidentally prevented a crash and saved the day by executing an undefined instruction."

Нужна поддержка community! :ablobcatbongosit:
Накидайте пожалуйста ссылок на ресурсы (форумы, книги и пр.), где сидят мастодонты электроники и микропроцессорной техники?!
Изучение медленно двигается, нужна поддержка неравнодушных к технологиям и подпитка энергией от горящих своим делом людей.
Интернет не заменяет этой потребности и на ИИ нет особой надежды. Из всего множества видео нашел только канал Дмитрия Забарило, где есть полное пояснение по теме и отсылки к основам, но мне и этого мало, меня тянет узнать что там ниже. :ablobcat_yummy:
И ещё я забыл название книги по программированию на языке С, там были эксперименты на тему битов и упоминалось что якобы (не дословно) это может быть скучным для большинства, но не для энтузиастов. Никто не встречал такую книгу? Я коснулся темы битовых полей и узнал что на разных "аппаратах" поведение одного и того же кода может быть не предсказуемым.#c

Someone asked me about the PGA chip sitting on my Mac Studio in a recent toot showing some little glass figurines I brought back from Murano, Italy. They asked if it was a 386. It is, in fact, a ceraminc PGA 68-pin MC68HC000RC12. I didn't have a very clear shot of this chip I recently picked up off eBay, so I took one this morning to share with the person who asked -- and it turned out a rather striking image, to my eye.
I thought I'd share.
(I recently purchased the chip in new condition on eBay because of its nice, square purple ceramic and gold appearance (just to have as a desk bauble) and with a nod to the many MC68K systems I've used over the years -- and still use today.)
