This chip: 8 MHz, 8 bit processing  1K x 14 bits EPROM.  48 bytes SRAM.  6 general purpose I/O pins (GPIO), PB[5:0], with independent direction control.

In comparison to the usual suspects like Apollo guidance computer or TI-83, it has a higher clock speed but shorter word length and extremely limited ram and memory. Precisely due to the cost engineering - this is meant to run simple, limited size programs.
