The 6502 CPU, a classic piece of technology, was a game-changer in the world of computing. Launched in 1975, this 8-bit microprocessor was designed by a small team led by Chuck Peddle for MOS Technology. It was a simplified, less expensive, and faster version of the Motorola 6800 design. Its affordability and efficiency fueled the home computer revolution of the early 1980s, powering iconic systems like the BBC Micro, the Apple II, Commodore PET, the Commodore 64 and the Nintendo Entertainment System. Even today, the 6502's legacy lives on, with modern versions still being manufactured for use in embedded systems. Its impact on the computing landscape is undeniable, making it a beloved topic for retro computing enthusiasts and a fascinating study for those interested in the evolution of technology.


This MOS 6502 CPU design is a perfect blend of retro cool and geek chic. With this stylized representation of the 40 pin original , this mug is a fun way to honour a piece of technology that helped shape the digital world we live in today.
