Interesting bit of info Gary !
I guess considering the average late model PC will have :
Processor from 1-5 billion (i7 is 2.7 billion)
Memory about 1 billion per GB - so say 16GB = 16 billion
A decent GPU is 2 to 8 billion
Thats 10-30 billion transistors per half decent PC !
Makes my first Z80 computer (8500) with a whopping 16K of RAM (16,000) seem like something from the steam age ! . . . and my old jars of OC series germanium transistors (1) in glass look like museum pieces.
