- 3The 8048 was conceptually similar, but came out earlier, and was used as the basis for the Magnavox Odyssey2 video game system (most games ran a mixture of code that was stored on cartridge and code that was in the CPU's ROM).supercat– supercat2024-02-07 16:12:22 +00:00Commented Feb 7, 2024 at 16:12
- 2I'd add that Commodore may have not merged them to prevent failure rates in one chip only affect the one chip, rather than both chips, when fabricating them. If one chip failed testing before manufacturing, or during manufacturing, they could attempt to swap out the failing chip, and keep the rest of the chips on board.Alexander The 1st– Alexander The 1st2024-02-08 05:20:34 +00:00Commented Feb 8, 2024 at 5:20

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. ms-dos), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
