Holy Crap! Bloke finishes hand-built CPU project!
Have you ever seen an up-close view of how a computer processor works?
If you're in the UK, you can head over to Cambridge and see the process firsthand, thanks to the work of Reg friend James Newman, who has finally finished constructing his 16-bit masterpiece, the Mega Processor.
You may remember the story of James and his ambitious project from the Summer of 2015, when he was in the doldrums of building a fully-functional processor from discrete components, the large-scale electronic pieces that were used decades ago to build the earliest computers and are now integrated on an atomic scale for modern microprocessors.
