What a garbage news article. You can't even read a paragraph without a stupid pop up showing up, and demanding that you pay their high membership fees.

1200 transistors per chip? That’s amazing! The Zilog Z80 (that powers a Game Boy or TI-84 Plus) has 8200 so he may start producing CPUs in the near future.

The Game Boy was not powered by a Z80. It was a Sharp LR35902. It was similarly modeled after an 8080, but you're not going to be able to run Z80 code on a Game Boy.

I know but it’s close enough for this comparison to make sense.
