HP Saturn (microprocessor)
The Saturn family of microprocessors was developed by Hewlett-Packard in the 1980s for programmable scientific calculators/microcomputers. The original Saturn chipset was first used in the HP-71B hand-held BASIC computer, introduced in 1984. Later models of the family powered the popular HP-48 series of calculators, among others. The replacement for the HP-48, the HP-49 series initially used the Saturn CPU, but starting with the HP-49g+ model the calculators use ARM CPUs that emulates the Saturn architecture.

Famous quotes containing the word saturn:
“From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud pied April, dressed in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing,
That heavy Saturn laughed and leaped with him.”
