What a visionary article and a delightful read. To give another context to look at this in retrospective, here's [0] a die shot from a 2n3906 transistor made in 1965 (still available today). It's roughly 60µm * 60µm in size. By comparison a high end chip made in 2022 has 80 billion transistors in an area of 814mm^2 [1]. That is three hundred and fifty thousand transistors (350,000!) in the same area 58 years later.
