That's been the case forever though. How many systems used the 6502 chips? Vic-20, C64, NES, 2600, Apple IIe? It was often the same chip, with slightly different (rarely significantly higher powered, just different) memory and i/o around it.
- flohofwoe 7y agoDespite only having 2 (ok 3) popular CPUs (Z80, 6502 and the 6809), 8-bit home computers had massively different hardware. The CPU only played a very minor role in those machines and mainly was used as a controller for the video and audio custom chips which did the actual hard work.
