Talk:KR580VM80A

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why the past tense for hardware items? They are not in production anymore, they are relatively rare but they are not really petrified relics. Now let's see, quoth MOS 6502 article: The 6502 is an 8-bit processor with a 16-bit address bus. Svofski 07:54, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: notability, it is no less notable than its Intel counterpart; probably even more so because in USSR it was #1 CPU in consumer sector and Z80, having no clones, only had underground quality to it. It is however possible to create a broader article about Soviet microprocessors and merge this article there. Svofski 11:14, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Exactly. KR580 family was what the Soviet microrevolution was built on. Accordingly, I'm going to remove the notability tag.
