The CPC 464 is the first personal home computer built by Amstrad in 1984. It was one of the bestselling and best produced microcomputers, with more than 2 million units sold in Europe. The British microcomputer boom had already peaked before Amstrad announced the CPC 464 (which stood for Colour Personal Computer) which they then released a mere 9 months later. Spital wanted to offer a device that would not commandeer the family TV but instead be an all-in-one computer with its own monitor, thus freeing up the TV and allowing others to play video games at the same time.

Počítač existuje i ve vylepšené verzi označené jako Amstrad 464plus (u označení plusové řady nebyla používaná zkratka CPC). Kvůli podmínkám na španělském trhu v době uvedení počítače na trh se počítač vyráběl ve speciální variantě pro tento trh ve variantě označované jako Amstrad CPC 472. (cs)

  • The CPC 464 is the first personal home computer built by Amstrad in 1984. It was one of the bestselling and best produced microcomputers, with more than 2 million units sold in Europe. The British microcomputer boom had already peaked before Amstrad announced the CPC 464 (which stood for Colour Personal Computer) which they then released a mere 9 months later. Amstrad was known for cheap hi-fi products but had not broken into the home computer market until the CPC 464. Their consumer electronic sales were starting to plateau and owner and founder Alan Sugar stated "We needed to move on and find another sector or product to bring us back to profit growth". Work started on the Amstrad home computer in 1983 with engineer Ivor Spital who concluded that Amstrad should enter the home computer market, offering a product that integrated low-cost hardware to be sold at an affordable "impulse-purchase price". Spital wanted to offer a device that would not commandeer the family TV but instead be an all-in-one computer with its own monitor, thus freeing up the TV and allowing others to play video games at the same time. Bill Poel, General Manager of Amsoft (Amstrad's software division), said during the launch press release that if the computers were not on the shelves by the end of June, "I will be prepared to sit down and eat one in Trafalgar Square".

  • L'Amstrad CPC 464 (CPC sigla di Colour Personal Computer) è un home computer a 8 bit prodotto da Amstrad e commercializzato dal 1984 al 1990. In Europa è stato uno dei microcomputer di maggior successo, essendo stato venduto in più di 2 000 000 di unità. Il computer fu voluto direttamente da Alan Michael Sugar, presidente della Amstrad, che produsse così il suo il primo home computer; presentato nel 1984, si mise in diretta concorrenza con lo ZX Spectrum e il Commodore 64: nonostante utilizzasse componenti già da tempo in commercio e comuni ad altri sistemi, come la CPU Zilog Z80, da cui derivavano caratteristiche non eccellenti ma comunque discrete per un computer di quella fascia di prezzo e in linea con quelle della concorrenza, il CPC 464 riuscì ad affermarsi non solo sul suolo inglese ma anche in diversi altri Paesi europei grazie al suo prezzo di vendita contenuto che comprendeva un sistema completo, composto da un'unità centrale con tastiera integrata, un monitor e un registratore a cassette integrato.
