[Offtopic] Mini documental Motorola 68000

[charli va]

Como hemos usado el core del Motorola 68000 no hace mucho, he visto este mini documental que hace un repaso por la historia del procesador, sobre todo entre el mundo arcade/consolas/ordenadores domésticos.

Por si a alguno os interesa:

Ola Charli,

Really enjoyed watching this! It was super interesting, and it brought back some souvenirs of teenage gaming sessions. :-)

Thanks for sharing!

Have a nice day

I'm so glad, Joaquim! I think sharing interesting content, readings, videos, etc. is part of making this forum enriching. At least for me, when references are sent, I find them very interesting in many cases.

I also enjoyed the video too, both for reminiscing about my younger days and for the technical section that begins midway through the video, which, although very superficial, provides interesting details about the architectures of the different machines, the interaction between the cpus.. an entertaining video that may leave something in our ideas.

A hug and have a nice day!

Hi,

Nice video, but I think the relevance of that microprocessor was a bit overstated ;) Like the line "ahead of its time"... Well, its architecture was modeled after the PDP11, really an old computer, and there is nothing in it pointing to the RISC revolution that was about to begin.

But we must recognize the 68K was the best microprocessor of its time, yet, that time was short and its main competitor, the 8086, evolved fast and with big performance improvements (especially with the 486 and Pentium) while the 68K siblings (68030, 68040) never were able to catch up.

Anyway, a lot of people (me too ;) do love its instruction set. Probably because we were much feed up with the disgusting segmented architecture of the 8086.

Nice day
