You can have "dumb" CPUs all you want, just stick with Z80, 6502, 6809. There's still plenty of fun using those and you can hold most of what they do in your head. Add 68000 and MIPS R2000 for some 32 bit fun if you wish. Anything past that level of tech uses brainy tricks to get the performance going.
