The 6502 would be used for controlling the movements of the small robot and collect data. I don't think you'd make them navigate to the tumor, but you'd link them to a catheter, by really tiny wires. The catheter would also isolate them from the local blood stream, and relay information to a larger ...

Just scaling computing in terms instructions per seconds is too much rough of an approximation, but doing it anyway 6502 delivers 0.430 MIPS at 1.000 MHz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second and it matches AMD Phenom II X4 940. If you could do all components to fit inside something ...

Or, you could downlock for loading a program or reading something with an external device, using an amplifier, and overclock during the run of the program.

Perhaps you could input and read with a tiny microwave generator? You`d build a tiny memory load and let the chip do something, wait, and then read. At first, it could be something like counting from 1 to 1 trillion in 10seconds.

Perhaps a normal mask, with, say 1 million chips, living the remaining blank? I think this would cost much less. 1 million chips is a tiny speck in a 300mm wafer.

How expensive would it be tape out a 6502 in 7nm? A chip would be smaller than a red blood cell and a 300mm wafer would yield over 15 billion dice.

I really don`t know how I`d do it. It`s not that I have the money to test anything. But, what I surprised it is that these old circuits should be more of a target to overclocking records. A 6502 in a 7nm should measure something have an area of 15 micrometer2. A very fast current could be used to ...

Thank you for the welcome! :)

So, what you mentioned that 10GHz could be done according to Bill Mensch. I think that supposes more or less a linear scaling, right? If that is the case, it would not be a simple scaling, as I mentioned. The die and the silicon would have liquid cooling passing ...

6502 was fabbed in 8um process. Now, we are at around 10nm process. 6502 was more or less a square of 4mm, it could be reduced to around 4um, if a simple linear scaling is assumed. It doesn`t need to have the same layout and also you could enormously spread the transistors and interconnectors for ...
