Comparing C64 to CPC

4 bytes added, 30 April
/* Comparing CPC and C64 */
* The C64 has the VIC [[ASIC]] video chip. The CPC has the [[COTS]] [[6845 CRTC]] and an [[ASIC]] Gate-Array.
* The CPC is made from chips purchased from various suppliersmanufacturers, while the C64 only uses MOS chips. Demos have serious [[CRTC]] compatibility issues on CPC while such problems don't really exist on C64, except for the PAL/NTSC split.
* The C64 tape loading is done through interrupts so is not intensive on the CPU. The CPC tape loading is very intensive on the CPU.
