The 8008 does have one thing going for it though: the 8008 is widely known as the world’s first 8-bit microprocessor. The custom 8008 CPU board for the Heathkit H8.

The D6802 is a 8-bit MPU IP Core. The D6802 is synthesisable SOFT Microprocessor IP Core, fully compatible with the Motorola MC6802. It can be used as a direct replacement for the MC6802 ...

The Z80 was an 8-bit CPU developed by Federico Faggin, who also led the development of the first single-chip microprocessor (the Intel 4004), as well as several later Intel CPUs, ...

Epson has developed what is believed to be the world's first fully operational flexible 8-bit asynchronous microprocessor using low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors (LTPS-TFTs) on a ...

By today’s standards, an 8-bit CPU isn’t all that impressive considering all of our devices use 64-bit architectures. What is impressive, however, is when someone builds their own 8-bit ...

At its most simple, this is the difference between an 8-bit, 16-bit, and today, 64-bit CPU architecture. One slightly ...

I realize this is a newbieish question, but I was curious after a discussion on USENET with someone who keeps insisting that a 128-bit processor is 4x faster than a 32-bit one at the same clock speed.

What is a CPU? That's not an existential question, but your device would be lost without it. Here's what it does and why picking the right one is so important.

At its most simple, this is the difference between an 8-bit, 16-bit, and today, 64-bit CPU architecture. One slightly esoteric variant of processing is the Very Long Instruction Word, or VLIW.
