Apple just announced the ARM-based M1 Max processor, so it's interesting to compare it with the first ARM processor, created by Acorn Computers in 1985 as a coprocessor for the BBC Micro computer. Designers were Sophie Wilson and Steve Furber.

To think of that many anything on such a small scale and created in just three months is mind boggling. Here's a link to the Wikipedia page for microchip transistors, the numbers get much higher than the M1 Max on some: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count
