Yes, but they're benchmarking those 2x $4k CPUs (which you're complaining about) against a v100 GPU, which costs $7-11k — so where's the problem here? It's not like they're comparing their $8k/worth of CPU agai

The 6510 is what’s in the C64 - PHX and PHY definitely aren’t supported there (source: I was programmer on multiple published games, back in the day). The NES is similar family too, and doesn’t have those opcodes - but the Atari Lynx has th
