So, I'm curious about the Intel aspect of this. . . The 8-bit Z80 microprocessor was designed in 1974 by Federico Faggin as a binary-compatible, improved version of the Intel 8080 with a higher clock ...
As of June 2024, the venerable Z80 microprocessor, released by Zilog in 1976, will no longer be available as a standalone part. Despite the many evolutions and revolutions in the engineering industry, ...
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 ...
The news makes nerds wistful: production of the Z80 processor, one of the most versatile 8-bit processors ever, is being discontinued after almost 48 years. The manufacturer announced the end of ...
Last week, chip manufacturer Zilog announced that after 48 years on the market, its line of standalone DIP (dual inline package) Z80 CPUs is coming to an end, ceasing sales on June 14, 2024. The 8-bit ...
