< But you can't build a *system* with that overall density.
Long standing problem but, the military did have machine approacing
that
density. Consider that once you got over a certain
size it was less
imporant to be small.
What about 386s? Did Intel outrun the mainframes with the 386, or were
there discrete transistor machines with better performance than that?
BTW, what did the Cray I use?
Yep.
I disagree that a 286 had more raw cpu performance than some of the big
transistor machines. I still remember the BOCES/LIRICS KA10 running
some
300 users. I've never seen a 286 run more than 4.
Same applies to IBM
2060s.
