Developer builds his own 8-bit cpu

You won't be running Crysis on this computer, but if you ask me this is quite the accomplishment. A man has handcrafted his own 8-bit cpu using a 12x7 inch wire wrap board and 1,253 pieces of wire.

I'm actually kind of surprised the cpu fit into such a small space. I would have expected that a CPU built on the "macro" scale would fill a whole room.

That's interesting to see, i really would love to see a radical new kind of Computer/CPU to come out and shake up the same old hum drum of the past 50 years
