Yeah, I think that's some salesmanship peeking through. I got the impression he was moving along the thought process that 6502 can perform an activity in 1/4 the cycles as an 80XXX CPU, so for the same speed, the 6502 would be faster. But, the Pentium of today is a far cry from the one in the past, and I highly doubt one can push more functionality out of a CPU that ARM or Intel does at a given clock speed. jimReceived on 2020-10-16 02:02:47
