Most powerful 8Bit System?

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/bIj3xBmALxE

James Sharman has been criminally neglected so far. This has to be changed, because the good man has - probably inspired by Ben Eater - startet to implement his own CPU architecture about 3 years ago. 

In contrast to others, however, James has seen the thing through to the end. And in his current video #100 he not only draws a conclusion. He compares his build it to other 8-bit systems, and the results are surprisingly interesting.

If you enjoyed Ben Eater's 8-bit CPU series, you're in pretty good hands with James, as he not only takes the initial SAP architecture much further, but tackles very classic challenges like CPU pipelining, UART, VGA, audio, and others.

His style is his own, but the videos are definitely worth watching.
