Are you under the impression that CPUs are made exclusively from NAND gates? You can't be serious.

- junofan 6mo agoMight’ve gotten mixed up with CMOS dominance, or I’m ignorant.
- giik 6mo agoI believe you're not ignorant. But many folks probably lack the process knowledge (CMOS) required to understand why :-)

- marcosdumay 6mo agoJust to add a bit, but modern digital circuits are almost exclusively MOS, but even the "complementary" bit isn't universal in a large IC.
