I guess that the 6502 has about four times as many NAND-gates as the Gigatron. I understand that some people are working on emulator for 6502 code for the Gigatron. The Gigatron is a bit (extreme) risc processor. It has no micro code and the instruction decoding consists of a matrix a simple diode matrix. This results in many instructions that perform the same operation or no operation at all. The Gigatron runs a program that generates the VGA signal (with reduced resolution) and an emulator for a 16-bits CIS processor. The actual programs executed by the Gigatron are written for the emulator.
