That's "mega-transistors" per mm^2? Perhaps it would be better to go with "6502s per square millimeter" or something like that that would probably be a closer

That's "mega-transistors" per mm^2?
Perhaps it would be better to go with "6502s per square millimeter" or something like that that would probably be a closer approximation of real-world density, since it accounts for wire routing and so forth.
SRAM density is sometimes used I think.
- amelius 6y agoToday's chips have many more layers of interconnect than the 6502. Also the aspect ratios of transistors are different.
- function_seven 6y agoNot folksy enough. Just like we use Libraries of Congress to measure information volume, we should rate our chips in terms of AGC/mm^2 (Apollo Guidance Computer)
- smnrchrds 6y agoWell, I would be just glad that at least it's not AGC/sq in
