Back in 2006, Intel's Montecito had a transistor budget for more ARM6 cores than the ARM6 had transistors, so:
Transistor : ARM6 = ARM6 : Montecito
And that was a long time ago, Montecito had a measly 1.72 billion transistors, Apple's M2 Ultra has 130 billion.
Makes the whole Transputer ( Transistor:Computer ) idea seem somewhat prescient.

And an idea how you could use those transistors differently from now:
