I have been dreaming of this day for a long time.
Arena is now a book publisher, and our first volume, "Silicon" is open for preorders.

It’s the #Intel 4002!
Let’s find out how the die looks like and what we can learn from a RAM designed in 1971!
CPU Duke@duke_cpu
The #Intel 4004 is actually part of the so-called MCS-4 chipset which consists of: -4001 ROM -4002 RAM -4003 shift register -4004 CPU After having completed the die photo stitch I will aim a finalising the whole set. May the epoxy be brittle!

I'm excited to share that #teardown2026 will be happening 24-26th July. Our 60s mall era is dead; long live our 60s motel era.
Tickets, call for participation and volunteers, and details on the @crowd_supply website: crowdsupply.com/teardown/portl…

It’s a #Rolex!
The HP PA-7100 is a 32-bit PA-RISC processor released in 1992 for HP 9000 Unix workstations.
It was the first PA-RISC processor to integrate integer ALU and FPU onto a single die.

It’s a #Rolex! ⌚️ This doodle was produced using the sunken via techniques developed by HP designer. The method allows to use digital pictures and to create bitmap-like images using small micron sized vias as pixel. This doodle entails several thousands vias/pixel.
