We will need to start reporting transistors per square micron. But it is the same number.

I drove past a Micron Technology building last month, and had to reflect on how many square microns a 6502 would take, nowadays. Not counting TTL drivers, looks like around 4x5 microns. An original ARM would fit in like 10x20 microns. Invisible either way.
