'''Series 8000''' or '''ALPS''' ('''Advanced Logic Processor System''') was a [[microprocessor family|family]] of low-end {{arch|8}} [[microprocessor]] chipset developed by [[General Instrument]]. Designed in the United Kingdom, this series saw most of its success in the European market. A minimum system could be built from just two chips and a single-phase clock, which was smaller than many of the other alternatives at the time. At the heart of the system is the {{\|LP 8000}} microprocessor unit.
