Comment Comment by librasteve wonders how ARM did that - the MIPS R2000 came in at ~115k and the 80286 ~134kanyway - say you want 50% of the transistors for on chip RAM these days, then thats100 billion / 50 thousand = 2 million ARM 1sclocking at say 3GHz6e15 MIPS = 6 peta MIPSso if you could run code on it, you would get a 10,000x speed up ;-) parent librasteve 2 months ago
anyway - say you want 50% of the transistors for on chip RAM these days, then thats
100 billion / 50 thousand = 2 million ARM 1s
clocking at say 3GHz
6e15 MIPS = 6 peta MIPS
so if you could run code on it, you would get a 10,000x speed up ;-)
