It's kind of funny because comparable hardware would be hard to find nowadays. Even the ESP32 which can be purchased for something in the neighborhood of $2 runs at 600mips (technically dmips but all that means is they're not benchmarked for floating point operations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP32 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP32), although I am not sure that they can run the full exact same instruction sets.
