That is still using integrated circuit technology
This is discrete technology
I would guess that there are 2 gates on this card but that is just a wild guess based on transistor count. It might just be a flip flop with gates on the input.
Scott Lurndal laid this down on his screen :
Cool! Would you call that Large Scale Dis-integration?
From the webpage:
Like all modern processors the Megaprocessor is built from transistors. It's just that instead of using teeny-weeny ones integrated on a silicon chip it uses discrete individual ones like those below. Thousands of them. And loads of LEDs.
Not an IC in the bunch.
Agree. Typical alarmist BS. Remember the predictions a few decades ago that we would run out of oil by now? Peak Oil? More BS.
