Wot a Lot of Transistors

[zeitghost]

Xilinx FPGA boasts 6.8B transistors - ElectroIQ

6.8 billion in one device.

Things seem to have progressed since the OC71.

Yep, we were looking at that yesterday here at clientco dreaming up applications for it. You could just about softcore a Cray XMP on that ;-)

A transistor for every person on the planet.

[Churchill]

Aye.

What are you going to do with yours?

I'm going to team up with 3 of my mates and build a NOR gate.

there's just 3 problems with that..

A pair of flip flops would go with that.

Nah mate, they'd play buggery with my feet!
