TI-83 Premium CE
# TI-83 Premium CE

The TI-83 Premium CE (also written as 83PCE or 83CE) is a color graphing calculator, released on January 15, 2015 by TI France. It is the French equivalent of the TI-84 Plus CE, with translated key labels, a French-specific exam mode, and an "exact math" engine.

## General

In addition to the traditional functions of the 83/84 series (e.g., MathPrint), TI announced features similar to those of the 84+CSE and the 84+CE. However, this model adds an exact calculation engine and a new equation solving tool.

## Programming

Like the other calculators in the 83/84 series, the official programming language supported is TI-Basic z80.

However, in early 2019, programming in Python became possible through an external "TI-Python" module. In the end of June 2019, TI launched the TI-83 Premium CE Edition Python model which, in addition to improving performance via faster Flash memory, integrates the ARM microprocessor of the external TI-Python module directly inside the calculator.

## Specifications

### Components

* High resolution 320 × 240 pixel color screen, 140 DPI, backlit.
* 3.0 MB of usable flash ROM (4.0 MB chip, WinBond W29GL032CB7S or W25Q32JVS1Q on Python Edition)
* (ASIC) 150 KB of usable RAM (256 KB chip)
* (ASIC) Zilog eZ80 CPU (Zilog Z80 compatible evolution, faster and able to handle more RAM)

## Emulation

TI offers its TI-SmartView CE emulator dedicated to this machine. There is a total redesign compared to older SmartView software.

There is also a community free, open-source, native and portable emulator for TI-84 Plus CE and TI-83 Premium CE, called CEmu.
