   I love the term "Garage Silicon" so freaking much.

     @sam From what I recall on his latest videos, he could now theoretically build all the chips Ben Eater used to illustratively build an 8bit CPU. Not sure whether the ROMs would need to be redesigned though.

     Double the transistor count (which it looks like there's the space for) & he could recreate early CPUs on a single chip.

     Impressive!
