this made me wonder and I had to look it up but looks like we never had any 2-bit processors. shucks.
I am curious if it’s possible to run a single-thread benchmark that would work on both the Commodore 128 and a modern CPU (say a Apple M4 Max or an AMD 9950X), just to see the exact performance uplift that we’ve witnessed over the past 40 years.
Sure, why not?
It makes sense that’s it’s theoretically possible. I was more thinking about actually running such a benchmark. 😀
First you have to define what you want to benchmark, then you have to implement code for one and the other and finally run it. You could even use C or C++ for both. Sounds to me pretty straightforward.
