The First Plastic Computer Processor

• burgerbrain 16y ago
  From the image caption: "It is puny compared to most silicon processors" (The image appears to be an 8-bit ALU, larger than a man's thumb) I'm not sure they're using the word "puny" correctly...

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/puny http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/puny "slight or inferior in power, size, or importance" In this case, they meant power, as in computational power.

  "It's flexible and cheap" I don't know how cheap can this be considering there are processors 1E+10 times as powerful selling for <5 US$.
