Computing has come so far in the past few decades that we are used to counting transistors in processors to billions, all embedded in an extremely tight footprint. Now a user shows us his feat by having been able to create a homemade 8-bit processor. Can you imagine what it looks like?

This is what a 8-bit home processor looks like

The user in question is Paulo Constantino, he has wanted to surprise the world with the creation of his own 8-bit home processor, this invention is based on programming through DIP switches and is capable of performing some very basic tasks such as counting from 0 to 255. This user already thinks about expanding the functionality of his creation, the next step will be to make his own 16-bit home processor, which should already be able to run operating systems like MS-DOS.

We recommend reading our post on Best processors on the market (February 2018)

We leave you with a video that shows this new processor in question.
