echinopsis posted:the maths are far too difficult for a human to do but what got bigger hard drive sizes or tranny counts Well I had a 40MB hard drive and a 68030 processor vs today a 2TB NVMe drive and a ryzen 3900 273,000 transistors vs 9.9 billion 40 million bytes vs 2 trillion So the hard drive got 50,000 times bigger while the processor got 35,000 times as many transistors. Close but the storage edges it out
