Microprocessor built with normal transistors

Coolest thing ever, or at least one of the coolest.

very cool! I find it fascinating we get to program the CPU directly using inline assembly with PB, but the whole thing remains a mysterious black box to me so i totally get this guy!

Computers are quite opaque, looking at them it's impossible to see how they work. What I would like to do is get inside and see what's going on. Trouble is we can't shrink down small enough to walk inside a silicon chip. But we can go the other way; we can build the thing big enough that we can walk inside it. Not only that we can also put LEDs on everything so we can actually SEE the data moving and the logic happening. It's going to be great.

I don't see any Floating-Point support though, sheesh

Very Cool

Assembly language goes through the ALUs and other architecture that are all controlled by microcode firmware that nobody ever talks about or interacts with even though there is a flash ROM on both ARM and x86 archs that is perfect for userland-loaded rootkits that can be made impossible to detect without silicon-gate analysis.

Nice, there were similar constructions in Minecraft when I played it years ago

Or something "a bit" more advanced from 2014, built in just 800 hours ^^

It's "Bulk"processor than Microprocessor....

Well, anyway pretty amazing.
