Happy birthday, ARM1. It is 35 years since Britain's Acorn RISC Machine chip sipped power for the first time

My Risc PC still gets powered up every day

It does have a StrongARM but it started life with an ARM610. One day it'll retire, but not just yet.

Just playing with my first ARM-based "Arduino"-alike. The 48MHz Cortex M0 it uses could be compared with the 30MHz 610 originally in the RiscPC, though it uses a different instruction set (those condition codes were such a revelation) and would probably beat it in a head-to-head, though 32k RAM doesn't even come close :-)
