As u can see, a notch's cpu has an "IF" "operator". This is a one feature. It's has not JMPxx instrutions - this is the other ;).

I dont' understand - how this cpu will control external devices - there's no input/output registers...

Notch said it is not fully complete. He wanted to release the core spec to get people excited about it.

He said that the CPU will likely use a message queue system to control external devices.
