Great Microprocessors of the Past and Present

"Great Microprocessors of the Past and Present" is a long-running text document by John Bayko cataloguing notable microprocessor designs and architectures from the Intel 4004 onward, focusing on unique or representative designs rather than exhaustive coverage. It compiles historical and technical descriptions drawn from textbooks, magazine articles, and informal sources, explicitly disclaiming itself as an authoritative reference. The document is organized by processor family and architecture, with a version-numbered revision history dating to 1997.
