On Dec 15th, we lost Chuck Peddle, the lead designer of the MOS 650x series microprocessor and the Commodore PET. His processor was the heart of the Atari 2600/5200/400/600/800, Apple II, NES, VIC-20, C-64, Kim-1, Master System, Lynx, BBC Micro, arcade games and so much more. RIP pic.twitter.com/HQ8jT4rkKt

Another pioneer of the microprocessor era, Dan Dobberpuhl, who chaired the board of @IntelMovidius, also died earlier this year. We are losing the generation who were the fathers and mothers of modern computing. RIP. https://t.co/DS5p52vtx4

Wrote 6502 assembler on the Nintendo way back in 88. It also powered the awesome BBC micro, commodore 64 and vic 20. Rip Chuck Peddle. What a legacy! https://t.co/VYgh5duvav

Chuck Peddle designed the MOS 6502 processor that ran my first computer - the Commodore VIC-20. Its successor, the 6510, is what keeps the #C64 running. Sadly, Chuck passed away on December 15 2019. A two minute NOP loop will be executed in rememberance. https://t.co/zdHBQHoZTX

A moment of silence please to remember Chuck Peddle whose 6502 chip powered the Apple II, Commodore PET and other 1st gen PC's. The 6502, fondly remembered, was the only chip I ever did any assembly language programming for. https://t.co/OEWxqbXXP9

He and his colleagues created a low-cost microchip, and his company later built its own personal computer around it: the Commodore PET, which sold for $495. That, a former associate said, was "when the personal computer market really took off." https://t.co/5kYEglkrZ7
