Heh, on my previous CPU (8086K) I accidentally pushed over 1.9V.
It might very well have degraded because of this, but it’s been rock solid at 5Ghz for several years. It’s now going to serve as my server CPU.
As far as I know, it’s safe to push over 1.5V on these newer CPUs. According to...
10GB of VRAM seems like a snug fit to me. I wish Nvidia would have gone for a 384-bit wide bus and 12GB of VRAM for the 3080.
I'm hoping 10GB will be fine for QHD though.
Jolly good, now you can run along and enlighten the guy who built the Magic-1.
Now, if there are people with real knowledge that would be great. I'm particularly interested in finding a good "platform" to start off from. As in, finding good software and workflows with a fair amount of resources...
No, you are rudely wasting my time. If you have real knowledge, provide it. Snarky comments and <redacted>is not welcome. Find somewhere else to post that. Talk shop or get the redacted.

Yes, I do. The difference is mostly semantic in this context as it's unlikely to become one self contained unit.
Manufacturing IC's and transistors at home would certainly be glorious, but otherwise the most useful information from that link would be Nand2Tetris. I've looked at the course...
That's not a fundamental difference. You are still building the logic even though IC's contain more logic in a smaller package.
Well, the online quotes from the PCB shops are reasonable. Later problem though, as there are alternatives like etching and 3D printing.
I'm not going to build a chip...
Yes, say something like the SAP design Ben Eater is using, but print the circuitry instead of manually doing the wiring on a breadboard. That could also allow for more complex designs without going completely mad.
Microcontrollers or FPGA's could be used, but I want to build it from logic...
There's not really a fundamental difference between using TTL IC's or building a bunch of NAND gates.
Problem with KiCAD and Diptrace is that they can't simulate the logic, which means I have to do a lot of extra work if I can't transfer the schematics from the logic simulator.
The online...
I'm not going to build an 8088 processor.
There are tons of examples of home-brew computers. Here's one example:

Again, serious discussions only.
I want to try building my own CPU. Has anyone here done this?
The idea is to build something that can be programmed, with proper keyboard input and display output. I basically want to take this project from circuit to rudimentary OS that can execute simple programs. Instead of going nuts...
How could a glossy skin give anything resembling a paper texture, and why would a matte skin grind down the surface? Aren't they supposed to be smooth on the adhesive side?
