The Apple II 6502 — and so much Moore!

Summary[edit]

Description
English: I just bought this vintage Apple ][ motherboard, like the one I had in my first real computer in 1979.

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is just above the Apple logo — the 6502. For a sense of the progress in lithography since then, an entire 6502 built in Apple’s fab today could fit under a single transistor in the original 6502.

And if Lace Lithography is successful in scaling beyond the use of light, then the entire Apple ][ computer could be laid out in the space of a single transistor from the original machine (another ~150x in transistor count beyond the CPU).
