A working, transistor-scale replica of the MOS 6502 microprocessor
> No. The MOnSter 6502 is relatively slow compared to the original, thanks to the much larger capacitance of the design. The maximum reliable clock rate is around 60 kHz. The primary limit to the clock speed is the gate capacitance of the MOSFETs that we are using, which is much larger than the capacitance of the MOSFETs on an original 6502 die.<p>60 kHz? Surely these MOSFETs can do better than that! And even simple modern PCBs can run at much higher speeds.<p>Anyway, at this speed, I can probably run it in a full SPICE simulation on my PC and still outperform it :)
