- 4Hacker News·6/29/2026researchSandia's Rad-Hard SA3000 8085 CPU
The article describes Sandia National Laboratories' effort to recreate the Intel 8085 as a radiation-hardened CMOS chip, resulting in the SA3000. It explains the engineering challenges of converting an HMOS design to CMOS, the higher transistor count, and the support chips Sandia produced for use in harsh environments such as space and defense systems.
