Comment on Does my key fob have more computing power than the Lunar lander?

Comments

Low cost ARM M series microcontrollers are ubiquitous, and they're all immensely more powerful than the lunar lander computer.

Wireless embedded smartcards from 30 years ago were more powerful than the Apollo guidance computer. It's not a useful benchmark.

Considering Starship's console has big touch screens, a comparison with today's computers would be fairer, but less interesting.
