The MCS-51 and its derivatives are Intel's highest volume microprocessor, [8] and among the most implemented instruction set architectures of all time. [2] [3] Wharton was the subject of a 1999 New York Times profile, [8] and a 2001 article about his trips to Fiji to collect debris from the deorbit of the Mir space station. [9]

The 32-bit microprocessor dominated the consumer market in the 1990s. Processor clock speeds increased by more than tenfold between 1990 and 1999, and 64-bit processors began to emerge later in the decade. In the 1990s, microprocessors no longer used the same clock speed for the processor and the RAM.
A microprocessor is a computer processor for which the data processing logic and control is included on a single integrated circuit (IC), or a small number of ICs. The microprocessor contains the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to perform the functions of a computer's central processing unit (CPU).
Microprocessor-based system on a chip Die of an ARM610 microprocessor In the late 1980s, Apple Computer and VLSI Technology started working with Acorn on newer versions of the ARM core. In 1990, Acorn spun off the design team into a new company named Advanced RISC Machines Ltd., [ 45 ] [ 46 ] [ 47 ] which became ARM Ltd. when its parent company ...
Hitachi introduces SuperH architecture, [8] which provides the basis for ARM's Thumb instruction set. [9] 1993. Intel launches the original Pentium microprocessor, the first processor with a x86 superscalar microarchitecture. 1994. IBM introduce the first IBM mainframe models to use single-chip microprocessors as CPUs, the IBM System/390 9672 ...
The advent of the microprocessor and solid-state memory made home computing affordable. Early hobby microcomputer systems such as the Altair 8800 and Apple I introduced around 1975 marked the release of low-cost 8-bit processor chips, which had sufficient computing power to be of interest to hobby and experimental users.
Building on UC Berkeley RISC and Sun compiler and operating system developments, SPARC architecture was highly adaptable to evolving semiconductor, software, and system technology and user needs. The architecture delivered the highest performance, scalable workstations and servers, for engineering, business, Internet, and cloud computing uses.
