Not really important this, I was just wondering...
Roughly what is the minimum number of transistors needed to make a very basic CPU?
I know this is a bit of a stupid question, but I was just sitting here pondering and thought I'd see if anyone knew better. Are we talking thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or what? I have no idea how you would construct a register. How do you do that?
Ah well back to pondering more meaningless questions...
