Is Applied Micro's X-Gene equal to a 1960s 14-transistor radio?

摘要

This is a test; do not adjust your age: Do you recall the transistor-radio wars of the 1960s? Japan then dominated the maturing transistor-radio market, and, in an effort to differentiate themselves, Korean manufacturers started adding functionless transistors to their radios just so that they could say they had eight, 10, 14, and, eventually, 16 transistors instead of the necessary four to eight. The original four-transistor design goes back to the pioneer Regency TR-1, which Texas Instruments and Industrial Development Engineering Associates designed.
