TapeOutWorld 披露 Processor 容量与 LATCH 记忆机制TapeOutWorld Reveals Processor Capacity and LATCH Memory Mechanism
TapeOutWorld 介绍 Processor 与电路的底层机制。创建 Processor 时首先要决定它有多少晶体管，白皮书以真实芯片作参照：1971 年 Intel 4004 为 2,300 个，1993 年 Pentium 为 310 万个，Apple M1 为 160 亿个；新 Processor 从空白硅片开始，由创建者决定其容量。记忆机制方面：NAND 只负责计算、算完即忘，真正让电路记住东西的是 LATCH，1 个 LATCH 存 1 bit，每个区块更新一次，把它接到 NAND 上，电路就能计数并记住上一个 tick。TapeOutWorld explains the underlying mechanics of Processors and Circuits. When building a Processor, the first decision is how many transistors it has; the whitepaper uses real chips as reference — the 1971 Intel 4004 with 2,300, the 1993 Pentium with 3.1 million, and Apple M1 with 16 billion — and a new Processor starts as blank silicon whose capacity you decide. On memory: NAND only computes and forgets once done, while LATCH is what lets a Circuit remember; one LATCH holds 1 bit and updates once every block, so wiring it to NANDs lets the Circuit count and remember the last tick.

NAND only computes, and forgets once it's done, the thing that lets a Circuit remember is LATCH One LATCH holds 1 bit It updates once every block Wire it to NANDs and the Circuit can count and remember the last tick
