===CE16 and CF16===
The Xerox CE16 and CF16 [[minicomputer]]s, announced in May 1969, were small 16-bit computers designed primarily for process control applications. Both systems came with a base 4&nbsp;KW of 16-bit core memory, expandable to 16&nbsp;KW, and three "interrupt channels." The CE16 CPU can perform an addition in 16&nbsp;μsec and a (software) multiplication in 126&nbsp;μsec. Its price of $12,800 was {{inflation|US|12800|1969|fmt=eq}}. The CF16 CPU is rated at 5.33&nbsp;μsec for addition and 42&nbsp;μsec for (hardware) multiplication. It cost $14,900, {{inflation|US|14900|1969|fmt=eq}}.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=controller/computers |url=http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/magazines/Datamation/196905.pdf |access-date=July 18, 2023 |magazine=Datamation |volume=15 |issue=5 |page=193 |date=May 1969 |archive-date=July 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230718194304/http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/magazines/Datamation/196905.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title=Technology Profile: Mini-Computers |url=http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/magazines/Modern_Data/Modern_Data_1969_08.pdf |page=61 |access-date=July 18, 2023 |magazine=Modern Data |volume=2 |issue=8 |date=August 1969 |archive-date=July 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230718194317/http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/magazines/Modern_Data/Modern_Data_1969_08.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
