Title: cpu-db

Description:
	A set of tables that describe CPUs, MCUs, and DSPs and their various
	parameters.  You can load *.csv files in any spreadsheet program.

Files:
	Files are organized by manufacturers. Example cpu-db.MANUFACTURER.csv
	Videogame consoles are in video_game_consoles.csv
	Die photos are in spreadsheet_files/dieshot_db.csv


Goals:
	Create a complete set of all the varients of common and collectable 
	CPU, MCUs and DSPs. A list of video consoles, with hardware info is
	included.
