Isn't the real challenge finding anything made today that has less compute power than the lander? I challenge you to find that.

- jerf 11mo agoYou can still find things like an Arduino Micro that has less ROM & RAM than the lunar lander. But finding something new slower than a 2MHz CPU is probably a challenge nowadays; even the Micro is 16MHz and can probably be overclocked a ways above that without much work or risk. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AFY2S56 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AFY2S56 - not that that is necessarily the best way to buy such a system, just showing they exist.
- wat10000 11mo agoThat's easy. The challenge would be finding something that has less than the lander, but more than zero.

- sehugg 11mo agoAnother related question: Is there any production software system so inefficient that it would run faster if implemented in machine language on the AGC
- robotnikman 11mo agoMaybe whatever is found in a basic calculator?
- rstuart4133 11mo agoFeast your eyes on this: https://cpldcpu.com/2019/08/12/the-terrible-3-cent-mcu/ https://cpldcpu.com/2019/08/12/the-terrible-3-cent-mcu/ The HT68F001 stands out: 512 words of program flash and 16 bytes of RAM. ... can only be clocked from an internal 32 kHz oscillator. Since each instruction takes 4 cycles to execute, this results in only 8000 instructions per second!
