🤯 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.

Ma è un pò di tempo che sento questa storia. La Cina vuole invadere Taiwan e in qualche maniera centrano i microprocessori. #cina #taiwan #microprocessors

Remember, the #MCU's for a specific, task within #MPU's larger system, a.k.a, embedded system!
So is why certain #ujanja's limited to MCU's data!

💻🤖 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. 🙄
