Related, I do sometimes think about how fast an SRAM-synchronous 6502 could be today.https://twitter.com/pervognsen/status/819796142288302080 …

The PS3's CELL SPUs were SRAM-synchronous @ 3200MHz. I'd guess current fab tech could get an sram 6502 to 4000-5000MHz.

There's a recent interview with Bill Mensch where he says a current process tech 65816 could run the world.

Link? 65816 insn set is hard for compilers but good for UCSD p-code execution. Too bad Apple & WDC didn't nail it

Very interesting... I always wants to know why 6502 was so popular...

151 opcodes are simple & flexible. Great 'training wheels' to learn asm and mental-model coding.

Absolutely. Was a great first step which made 68k, MIPS, SH, x86, and ARM all attainable for me.

I am debating whether to teach my son 6502 asm; clearly not directly useful, but maybe good exercise

AVR assembly is the modern parallel to that. Directly useful with cheap Arduino h/w.
