Comment on Megaprocessor – A micro-processor built large (2016)

Comments

If the ISA is sufficiently efficient, 8kHz is fast enough to run interpreters. An 8kHz can be useful as a calculator, running thing similar to FORTRAN and, if is has suitable I/O, maybe run a BASIC or CHIP-8 interpreter.

Alternatively it works if you are sufficiently patient.

I'm curious what is the significance of 8kHz for running an interpreter? Am I missing something obvious?
