Sadly it's just RPI inside





Does that matter? As long as system level instructions are emulated. I’m sure you could also whip up an FPGA if you wanted to.

I haven’t checked, but I’m fairly certain it’s too big for Tiny Tapeout, so ASIC is out of the question unless you want to crowd source an older geometry.


TT supports multi block projects now, might be doable

It could be almost any $0.50 microprocessor from 2024 and still have more vastly horsepower than any PDP8 ever had.

The PDP10 was a 36-bit CPU with up to a few MIPS of compute power, however.

If you're going to make flip chips, let me know.

Oh I would love that so much, but missus already has issue with how I spent what little of my free time I have...
