The 6502 was the original reduced instruction set computer CPU, cutting a few functions here and there to enable massive savings in manufacturing. The rest is history. Report comment ...

For Jim Scherrer, founder and president of the Compuseum, the 6502 microprocessor chip made Montgomery County’s MOS Technology the “vanguard of personal computing.”. The 6502 chip was created by MOS ...

[RadicalBrad] chose to design like it’s 1979, and limited his ode to the machines of his youth to the 6502 CPU and logic and RAM chips available before 1980. The computer will support NTSC video ...

The MOS 6502 chip was used in the Apple II, among many other early home computers and game consoles. According to the chip techies at visual6502.org—engineers Greg James, ...

Moreover, the 6502 processor powered the pioneering gaming platforms such as Nintendo Entertainment System and Atari 2600. A lesser-known fact about this iconic chip is how it brought down the price ...

Want to know how the 6502 CPU, the heart and soul of the beloved Commodore 64, Atari 2600, Apple II and even Nintendo Entertainment System actually worked? Too bad. After 30 years, even the guys ...

At its heart is a single-board computer that features a 6.25 MHz W65C02 processor that’s similar to the 6502 chip used in classic PCs and game consoles like the Atari 2600 and Apple II, which ...

The number of simultaneously accessible binary digits is one measure of the “bitness” of a chip. An 8-bit CPU like the 6502 processes numbers in 8-bit chunks.
