Fair to say obsolete, as computation, not serial communication, which isn't really computation, though some logic gates ("computation") to implement, needed, just not like a CPU/ALU is done that way. |

Line 10:
There are no computers or [[microcontroller]]s of any kind that are exclusively 1-bit for all registers and [[address bus]]es. A 1-bit register can only store two different values. This is very restrictive and therefore not enough for a [[program counter]] which, on modern systems, is implemented in an on-chip register, but is not implemented on-chip in some 1-bit systems. [[Opcode]]s for at least one 1-bit processor architecture were 4-bit and the address bus was 8-bit.
While 1-bit computing is
While 1-bit CPUs are obsolete, the first [[carbon nanotube computer]] from 2013 is a 1-bit [[one-instruction set computer]] (and has only 178 transistors; since it has only one instruction<!-- SUBNEG (subtract and branch if negative) --> though it can emulate 20 [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]] instructions).<ref name="Courtland_2013"/>
