Comment on Cramming More Components onto Integrated Circuits (1965) [pdf]parent

Sorry, but you are comparing apples with oranges. This transistor can whitstand 40 V and can drive 200 mA. The other one is a processor working maybe at 3.3V or 1.8 V.

Can you give an example of a state of the art small transistor circa 1965 to make apples to apples comparisons with? The integrated circuits in the Apollo instrumentation unit perhaps?

OC602

Do you know its surface area?
