Gate count is not the issue. Routing is. The 6600
has an
amazing design...
Indeed ... weren't the 10 PPUs multiplexed through one arithmetic unit - a
FPGA implementation would almost certainly find it simpler to have 10
non-multiplexed identical units (would up the gate count but simplify almost
everything else).
