Commodore 64
The Commodore 64, also known as the C64 or the CBM 64, is an 8-bithome computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International (first shown at the Consumer Electronics Show, 7?10 January 1982, in Las Vegas).[4] It has been listed in the Guinness World Records as the highest-selling single computer model of all time,[5][citation needed] with independent estimates placing the number sold between 12.5 and 17 million units.[2] This claim is in spite of the Commodore 64 having three different Kernal ROM versions, two different SID sound chip versions, a few different motherboard versions and two different cases during its lifetime.[6] Volume production started in early 1982, marketing in August for US$595 (equivalent to $1,576 in 2019).[7][8] Preceded by the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore PET, the C64 took its name from its 64 kibibytes(65,536 bytes) of RAM. With support for multicolor sprites and a custom chip for waveform generation, the C64 could create superior visuals and audio compared to systems without such custom hardware.
