The '''MOS Technology 8502''' is an [[8-bit]] [[microprocessor]] designed by [[MOS Technology]] and used in the [[Commodore 128]] (C128). It is an improved version of the [[MOS Technology 6510|MOS 6510]] used in the [[Commodore 64]] (C64). It was manufactured using the [[HMOS]] process, allowing it to have higher [[transistor density]], and lower cost, while dissipating less heat. The 8502 allows the C128 to run at double the clock rate of the C64 with some limitations.
