thanks - I send him a private message through the prallax-forum...

which sid?
the older 6581 or the newer 8580?
i'm interested in the older one...

1. integrated circuit design software (industry standart)
1.1 which software is used to (re)design CPUs ?
1.2 who is experienced in translating cpu-pictures / schematics into this kind of software:
* http://www.cadence.com/products/pages/default.aspx
(what else is used by the cpu-industry?)

2 ...

hello,

I'm not quite sure where to begin, but it certainly would be nice to have schematics of all the DIEs (6510, sid & vicII) - yes, they all have been synthesised for fpgas, but I'd need them for an other reason...

my questions are:
1. which software do the big player use to design & fabric ...

I think the one you link to, which was explicitly for games, did take all that stuff seriously, but you'll notice it was for a commercial effort and the source for the latest versions is not freely available. which/what latest sources do you mean? and if it's not freely available: who owns it ...

thank you, but which ones are 100% binary-compatible with the c64 / 6510?
(including all illegal opcodes & timings - because the fpga-people seem to have trouble with some timings...)

are you serious? are these numbers correct?

thanks for the Mr. e2020 , but e2020 is more like a group than a single individual ... so just "e2020" will be fine ...

synchron clock rates (cpu, buses & memory)
A contributing factor to the 65xx family's efficiency is the fact that the address and data buses are synchronous to the MPU clock, not ...

thanks for asking there!

what would the dimension be (die etc) if build today?
how much 6502s could be place within 1 cm² ?

is there any way to calculate this with actual waver- production- data?

on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array at the end of the artikle it says "1.5 GHz fabric speed" - so (you think) that would that be the hightest possible speed a (virtualised) 6502 could run?

I read once (some time ago) that fpga are slower than regular chips (with physical ...

thanks for your answer.

200MHz is fast for a 6502 - but not really fast compared to todays cpus - why aren't there 6502 running @ 3Ghz (3000 mhz) ?
please answer here

I would like to have newly build 6510 run @ 1000 mhz and *more* !

is this possible?

my email to them bounced back ...

for historic & idealistic reasons ( c64 ) I'll stay with the 6510 ...

what would the dimensions of the die could be if produced today?
(year 2001) A 32-bit floating-point multiplier requires less than 0.25mm2 of chip area in a contemporary 0.18μm CMOS technology, so hundreds of arithmetic units ...

hello

how fast could a 6510 become if produced with/in todays technology?
1. would 1000 mhz be possible? or even more?

2. what's the most accelerated 6510 you've ever heard of?

thanks for your thoughts!

hello all

thanks for your answers !

okay, so i'll just ask microsoft about the commodore basic ...
what about the (owner of the) kernal?
