- The MOS Technology 6502 (typically pronounced “sixty-five-oh-two” or “six-five-oh-two”) is an 8-bit microprocessor that was designed by a small team led by Chuck Peddle for MOS Technology. The design team had formerly worked at Motorola on the Motorola 6800 project; the 6502 is essentially a simplified, less expensive and faster version of that design.
