NAND-16: a computer built entirely from NAND gates

Original: NAND-16: a computer built from 277,248 NAND gates

A project called NAND-16 has built a working 16-bit computer using 277,248 NAND gates, with every part of the machine derived from that single logic gate. The design is drawing attention among hardware enthusiasts, who are discussing the engineering challenge of scaling a primitive gate into a full computer and what it demonstrates about the foundations of digital computing.

Why now: It is a striking demonstration that an entire computer can be built from a single type of logic gate, appealing to engineering and computing communities.
