AbiWord had grammar checking before any other open source word processor, although a grammar checker was later added to OpenOffice. org.

The original Athlon ( now called Athlon Classic ) was the first seventh-generation x86 processor and, in a first, retained the initial performance lead it had over Intel's competing processors for a significant period of time.

The original Athlon also had the distinction of being the first desktop processor to reach speeds of one gigahertz ( GHz ).

Unfortunately, because the ISA bus was originally locked to the processor clock, this meant that some 286 machines had ISA buses that ran at 10, 12, or even 16 MHz.

The word processor had been born.

Although the 8080 was generally an 8-bit processor, it also had limited abilities to perform 16-bit operations: Any of the three 16-bit register pairs ( BC, DE, HL ) or SP could be loaded with an immediate 16-bit value ( using LXI ), incremented or decremented ( using INX and DCX ), or added to HL ( using DAD ).

Some of IBM's engineers and other employees wanted to use the IBM 801 processor, some would prefer the new Motorola 68000, while others argued for a small and simple microprocessor, such as the MOS Technology 6502 or Zilog Z80, which had been used in earlier personal computers.

More powerful 486 iterations such as the OverDrive and DX4 were less popular ( the latter available as an OEM part only ), as they came out after Intel had released the next generation P5 Pentium processor family.

The 100 MHz model of the processor had an iCOMP rating of 435, whilst the 75 MHz processor had a rating of 319.

This processor was a single-chip design, ran at a faster clock speed than the R8000, and had larger 32 KB primary instruction and data caches.

The last version of MultiMate was packaged with many of these add-on programs under the product name " MultiMate Advantage " to compete with other word processor software of the day, especially IBM DisplayWrite for DOS, which Multimate International developers saw as their main competition in the business market, and to a lesser extent WordPerfect, the DOS incarnation of Microsoft Word and the Samna word processor, which had its roots in another office word processing computer.

* OS / 2 1. x targeted the 80286 processor: IBM insisted on supporting the Intel 80286 processor, with its 16-bit segmented memory mode, due to commitments made to customers who had purchased many 80286-based PS / 2's because of IBM's promises surrounding OS / 2.

Plotters offered the fastest way to efficiently produce very large drawings or color high-resolution vector-based artwork when computer memory was very expensive and processor power was very limited, and other types of printers had limited graphic output capabilities.

The PDP-11 processor architecture had a mostly orthogonal instruction set.

This flexible framework provided by the processor architecture made it unusually easy to invent new bus devices, including devices to control hardware that had not been contemplated when the processor was originally designed.

In the meantime, the Berkeley RISC effort had become so well known that it eventually became the name for the entire concept and in 1987 Sun Microsystems began shipping systems with the SPARC processor, directly based on the Berkeley RISC-II system.

So if you had defined a record type in the TPF system of ' FRED ' and gave it 100 records or ordinals, then in a processor shared scheme record type ' FRED ' ordinal ' 5 ' would resolve to exactly the same file address on DASD-clearly necessitating the use of a record locking mechanism.

As VLB devices had direct high-speed access to system memory at the same level as the main processor, there was no way for the system to intervene if devices were mis-configured or became unstable.

The processor has seven 8-bit registers accessible to the programmer, named A, B, C, D, E, H, and L, where A is the 8-bit accumulator and the other six can be used as independent byte-registers or as three 16-bit register pairs, BC, DE, and HL, depending on the particular instruction.

The 7 / in the computer model number signified that the processor could initiate seven operations each cycle, using a 256-bit long instruction composed of 7 32-bit operations and a 32-bit utility field.

The numeric processor used a 256 bit-wide instruction word with seven " fields ".

In addition, the 2-chip processor did not need support chips, unlike others which needed seven or more.

** APG-66 ( V ) 2A – AN / APG-66 ( V ) 2 with a new combined signal and data processor that provides seven times the speed and 20 times the memory of the older radar computer and digital signal processor line replaceable units.

Powering the system was an Atari SALLY 6502 ( Atari's slightly custom 6502, sometimes described as a " 6502C ") processor running at 1. 79 MHz, similar to the processor found in home computers ( Atari 8-bit, Apple II, Commodore 64 ) and other consoles ( Atari 5200 and Nintendo Entertainment System ).

* In 1982, Burroughs began producing personal computers, the B20 and B25 lines with the Intel 8086 / 8088 family of 8-bit chips as the processor.

Compared to a small 8-bit CISC processor, a RISC floating-point instruction is complex.

The Intel 4004 was a 4-bit processor released in 1971, but in 1973 the Intel 8080, an 8-bit processor, made the first personal computer, the Altair 8800, possible.

This microprocessor was the first low-power CMOS processor chip, quite on a par with the 8-bit 6502 that was being built into the Apple II desktop computer at that time.

As with the original Game Boy, it has an 8-bit processor.

* Main processor: Zilog Z80 ( 8-bit )

Industry Standard Architecture ( ISA ) is a computer bus standard for IBM PC compatible computers introduced with the IBM Personal Computer to support its Intel 8088 microprocessor's 8-bit external data bus and extended to 16 bits for the IBM Personal Computer / AT's Intel 80286 processor.

I / O addressing could also sometimes employ the fact that the processor would output the same 8-bit port address to both the lower and the higher address byte ( i. e. IN 05h would put the address 0505h on the 16-bit address bus ).

The Intel 8088, released in 1979, was a slightly modified chip with an external 8-bit data bus ( allowing the use of cheaper and fewer supporting logic chips ), and is notable as the processor used in the original IBM PC.

Where a Harvard architecture is used, instruction words for the processor may be a different bit size than the length of internal memory and registers ; for example: 12-bit instructions used with 8-bit data registers.

The home system featured two CPUs: the 16-bit Motorola 68000 main processor running at 12 MHz and the 8-bit Zilog Z80 coprocessor running at 4 MHz.

Based on an 8-bit processor, it was the third commercially available color handheld console, after the Atari Lynx and the TurboExpress.

* Main processor: Zilog Z80 ( 8-bit )

The Z80 took over from the 8080 and its offspring, the 8085, in the processor market, and became one of the most popular 8-bit CPUs.

Despite the 80286 processor, it was still an XT-class PC, not an AT-class PC, as it adapted the 80286 to operate over the same 8-bit data bus as previous Tandy 1000 models, and had 8-bit XT-style expansion slots.

The first commercial 8-bit processor was the Intel 8008 ( 1972 ) which was originally intended for the Datapoint 2200 intelligent terminal.

Modernized variants of these 8-bit machines are still one of the most common types of processor in embedded systems.

Based on an 8-bit Hitachi 6301-family processor, running at 0. 9MHz, with 4KiB of ROM and 2KiB of static RAM, and had a single-row monochrome LCD screen.
