It will support PS/2 keyboards and VGA. Intended to be a learning platform for RISC-V coding, it’s only got 2k of RAM. (I tried finding a 3rd party source for this announcement but I struck out, so I’m linking the actual olimex webpage. Not affiliated with them, just thought this looked neat.)
Some ARM CPUs that are advertised as microcontrollers have 32 bit address spaces and roughly the same power as an i486.
A CPU on its own cannot be a microcontroller alone via its definition; as a microcontroller contains a CPU and other needed components to drive it.
No microcontroller is going to beat a computer with a modern microprocessor on complex computing though. But it’s good to know tech is still improving on all sides.
Yeah nah still in micro controller space. When you say PC it comes w with up to date expectations attached and VGA is not one of them. Or 2k RAM.
