Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Amstrad is a British manufacturer of consumer electronics, and in the early 1980s decided to get into the home computer market. The market at that time was dominated by the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, so Amstrad needed something that was as cheap as those, but technically better. They developed a Z80-based system, and a two-chip Graphics Processing Unit that combined a Motorola 6845 with a custom gate array. The new graphics engine had both higher resolution and more colors than the C64 and Spectrum (though this often didn't show when Speccy games were cheaply ported to the CPC). |
