- mlindner 4y agoOur computers would be a lot slower if they were just a fast PDP-11. The way computers worked changed because the physical reality of transistors don't like to work in that manner.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoNot sure why you think the transistors we make have any influence of the design of an instruction set architecture or register set.
