Now the Gigatron is emulating a 6502 processor, the same CPU found in the Apple II and almost every other retrocomputer that isn’t running a Z80. There’s a thread over on the Gigatron forums ...

The 6502 at 1MHz was pretty much dead even with the Z80 at 4 MHz, at least in the hands of a clever programmer. I believe you''ve gotten something garbled somewhere, not the Internet as a whole.

Commodore should have use this for the Commodore 128 instead of using the 6502 and Z80 CPUs. ... The 65816 was a 6502 that could do 16 bit registers and 24 bit addressing.

If the 8-bit 1MHz MOS Technology 6502, designed by Chuck Peddle in 1975, doesn’t trip off the tongue to the average Internet user, its influence on computing history is still immense.

Two CPUs and their derivatives dominated the home hardware scene of the Eighties – the Zilog Z80, as seen in the ZX Spectrum, ColecoVision and Master System, and the MOS Technology 6502, which ...
