| CPU Information | |
|---|---|
| Byte Order: | Big Endian |
| Inst. Set Type: | CISC |
| Appx. Cost (Q1 2011): | $8-10 |
| Speed (mHz): | 4-30+ (we'll be starting clocked at 6mHz and working up to 10-12 most likely) |
The exact manufacturer/part number has not been decided yet, but will be a 68HC000 high speed CMOS version, not an original HMOS or 68EC000. The option to use a 68010 is open as well.
